Leisure and sports market size:

I need to know the aggregate size of the U.S. market for attendance at
spectator sports (football, baseball, hockey, etc).

I would love to see it broken down by:

1. how much on tickets
2. how much on merchandise at the games (jerseys, banners, hats, etc)
3. how much on food (beer, hot dogs, etc) 

Thank you!

Hello Jimwalden,

I can provide you the total (dollar value) of spectator sport spending. 

This figure is also broken down into the following categories:

- Ticket sales
- Merchandise sales (onsite), parking and concessions
- Revenues for premium seating

Would these figures suit your purpose?

Thanks, 
Bobbie7

Thank you.
