In a significant shift for the National Football League, the league approved private equity ownership for its 32 teams in August 2024. This decision has led to the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills initiating the sale of minority stakes to private investment firms, following the league's endorsement in December 2024.
During a recent episode of a sports finance program, host Joe Pompliano engaged with Senior NFL Reporter Jori Epstein to discuss the implications of these developments. A focal point of their conversation was the potential for private equity investments, particularly as the Dolphins and Bills are actively pursuing deals. Epstein highlighted that the amount the Bills sold to private equity closely aligns with their stadium budget, which exceeded initial estimates.
She suggested that teams might increasingly turn to private equity to fund stadium projects without incurring debt, allowing them to expedite progress. This model could reshape how NFL teams approach financing in the coming years, potentially impacting future revenue streams.
