msweet Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 NEWARK — The Devils poured close to a quarter-million beers since the Stanley Cup playoffs began. They sold 22,925 hot dogs and 16,388 pretzels. At Saturday night’s game alone, the Prudential Center’s Acela Club moved 54 pounds of alligator steak. It’s been a good spring for the Devils and the Prudential Center they call home. And while Monday night’s loss to the L.A. Kings dashed the hopes of thousands of fans, the Stanley Cup Finals brought $32.3 million in additional revenue to Devils’ coffers, according to a Star-Ledger analysis of playoff revenue. For a team fending off bankruptcy with each slapshot, the money could not have come at a better time. ------------- The biggest chunk of playoff money came from ticket sales to the 11 sold-out home games. The Devils sold $26.2 million in tickets during the postseason, according to the review. Concessions brought in another big piece with the Devils selling $3.75 million in sundries. Sponsors kicked in $1.1 million to the Devils’ bottom line during playoffs. Devils merchandise also gave the team an influx of about $1 million worth of jerseys, T-shirts and hats. --------------- http://www.nj.com/ne..._devils_mo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gata Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Awesome the organization, they really needed it . I hope this and the anonymous investors helps keep the Devils in Jersey for as long as possible. Edited June 13, 2012 by gata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 That's certainly good news. I'd be curious to see what kind of revenue CAA pulled in during deep playoff runs just for the sake of comparing each building's revenue potential. Also nice to see: According to documents provided by the team, the playoff run brought $3.7 million to bars and restaurants in Newark, the equivalent of 35 jobs, and $217,000 in added personal income to city residents.

devlman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Dont forget the 1,600+ new season ticket holders and 95% SH retention rate we've got going on at this early stage, too! It may not be out of the question to see a record amount of sellouts next season! The Rock and the surrounding area are truly becoming a destination and event.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 New Jersey needs to ride this momentum with a productive offseason. Signing Parise and maybe another winger would be in their best interest.
