Few things bring Americans together the way sports can: Regardless of cultural, political and generational divides, we love to get together for ‘the big game,’ to cheer on our teams and follow along with the victories and heartbreaks that are part of the sports narrative. But with the business side of sports evolving, fans have been subject to notable cost increases in ticket prices and home viewing access. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this year that prices for admission to sporting events increased by 123% from 2000 to 2025. This month on Navigating Our Financial Times, hosts Linda O’Bryon and Nicole Cox speak with Alex Jacquez, Chief of Policy and Advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, former White House Economic Council staffer and writer of the opinion piece, “Happy Opening Day! Now get out your wallet” for MS Now, who breaks down some of the factors influencing the rapidly-changing fan experience.
