I wish whoever gets it allows you to subscribe to a team as opposed to the Direct TV model of all games.

I don’t think any of the sports have broken to that model yet. IIRC the NHL talked about it, but they’re the #4 and frequently make poor choices.

But I agree with you. I’d have no problem doing $100-120 for all 17 games of the Rams.

Of course since the Rams are in LA and the blackout rule was lifted, I only do DTV for the other games.

For out of towners, ala carte should be available. They'd likely make more money that way... Do the commercial spots (resturants / sports bars) like it's done now.

I sure don't see the price coming down. Whoever gets it from the NFL is gonna pay a pretty penny and they're probably not thinking of Sunday Ticket as a loss leader...

Less and less as the nfl continues to support marxism.

Per a segment on St. Louis radio:
-the NFL is looking at a blended approach for Sunday ticket.
-they know many sports bars have significant investments in DirecTV equipment. They don’t want to alienate them.
-But the league know streaming is the future and want to partner with an existing carrier
-the NFL is crunching numbers on offering stand alone team focused subscription.
-Disney is the front runner

how do sports bars have a significant investment in directv equipment? when i looked into it all of the equipment was free in exchange for the exorbitant commercial license fee and the iron-clad no-escape contract that accompanied it... sports bars and commercial outlets would love nothing more than to finally dump their energy-consuming, space eating, rats nest cable running directv equipment in exchange for internet streaming, especially given wireless connectivity to each tv.... directv on the other hand....

I see you point as that would be less hardware as all they would need to do is get X number of cheap Roku Sticks or Fire TV sticks.

Probably the only direct expense bourne by sports bars would be having to
-redo the audio equipment runs.
-whatever networking/wifi increases would be needed

-the NFL is crunching numbers on offering stand alone team focused subscription.

That would be awesome and hopefully a little less expensive than the entire ticket. Game Pass is just $99 a year and if a stand alone subscription for 1 team is comparable, having both would be awesome. Football fans who like to watch a few games other than their team can always watch on Game Pass after their team has played on the Ticket. You know, like on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays!!!

Hopefully this breaks down the wall to other sports and paying for single team subscriptions.
