NFL’s Dolphins Say Capacity Could Drop 77% Amid Virus (Podcast)

Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr are joined by Bloomberg’s New York City bureau chief Jason Kelly to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including details about how the NFL’s Miami Dolphins may change Hard Rock Stadium to have it ready for fans this fall. The plan includes specific entrance times on tickets, and a new sequence for emptying the stadium, row by row, to avoid a crunch of crowds before and after games. The stadium, which seats 65,000 might be down to just 15,000 with all of the guidelines, according to the team, raising all sorts of difficult questions about how to price a much smaller assortment of tickets, and how to keep fans interested in a very different in-game experience. Also talked about is the growing number of colleges that say they expect to have students on campus this fall -- a prerequisite for college football -- and a shocking legal ruling in the U.S. national women’s soccer team’s equal pay lawsuit.
