KPMG - European Elite 2019 - City Related

Real’s and Barca’s stadium utilisation is very low, just think how much red pen the MEN would have to use up if they had to report on them.

Also shows, for some clubs, empty seats aren’t an issue in being the biggest in the world.

Juventus stadium is 3/4 full nearly every game, despite it only holding 40000. We have a few thousand empty seats in about half of our prem games and the whole country can’t contain itself.
 
Indeed.

Barça average around 70000 in a 98000 stadium and they want to expand to 120000.
That's because if they hit that 120,000 vs 98,000, they'll increase that average and get a big cash boost on big match days.

Same reason rags owner built OT when their average was 10k. They got a massive boost when City etc turned up which helped a lot back in 19 whatever
 
Nah we just throw our dirty oil money, also known as petroleum dollars, around as we have a bottomless pit of cash from our nation state.
I heard petro chemical dollars discussing the Newcastle takeover, is that the upgrade from just dirty oil money?
 
Indeed.

Barça average around 70000 in a 98000 stadium and they want to expand to 120000.
Because they fill it for the big games, easily.
If you're selling out a venue all the time (especially to a core base) then it's too small. Better to expand and offer lots of cheaps and comps for the lesser events. Any business operating constantly at capacity needs to invest and expand.
