It close to 100 days for the labor problem with the NFL. I just read a report that indicated that each NFL city will lose $160 million in direct spending generated by the games. This includes hotel and meal taxes.
The town of Foxborough gets $770,000 from a tax on ticket sales. Restaurants at Patriot Place generate a hug amount of business on days when the public is allowed to attend practices.
There is a huge workforce that works at the stadium on game day. All of these people will lose this as a source of income.
A small group of owners, including Robert Kraft, have been meeting secretly with a group of players in an attempt to resolve this outside the courtroom. Something could develop next week as the owners are meeting as a group to conduct some of their usual league business.
