Infographic: U.S. Pro Sports Compared

Here in the US, sports are not just big fun but big business.  Maybe that’s no big surprise, but if you break down the numbers on number of games, price of tickets, and salaries of players, you start to see some interesting facts emerge.  Facts like the NHL and NBA have similar game counts and attendance figures, but NHL tickets cost on average $10 more, but somehow bring in about $1B less a year in revenue.

All of this, and more, is visible in the new infographic on US Pro Sports Compared, after the break.
