San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2013
What does Santa Clara, Levis Jeans and 49ers Football have in common? Everything in the 2014 NFL season as the Niners move to their new stadium in Santa Clara which will officially be dubbed Levis Stadium. The denim giant, based out of San Francisco, struck gold with the naming rights to the new stadium in Santa Clara with a retail price tag of $ 200 million.
The naming rights bring stadium revenue over the one billion dollar mark, just a quarter billion shy of the $ 1.2 billion cost. The stadium has collected more than $ 800 million in seat and luxury box sales over the past year and half.
So how does all of this impact ticket sales? Well, couple the latest news with the impressive performances from the Niners over the last two seasons and youve got a recipe for a sold out venue.

This is the last year the Niners will play at the old Candlestick, noted Matt Brenner, owner of secondary ticket operation CheapSeatsTickets.com, and that means the last season of semi-affordable seats.
With seat licensing costs ranging from $ 2,000 to $ 80,000 per seat (yes, thats eighty thousand dollars just for the right to purchase seats on the 50 yard line), Brenner expects secondary market prices to soar in 2014. But this season is going to be a great time to see the Niners prices are great and the team is poised to make another run to the Super Bowl.
Accordingly, CheapSeatsTickets is restructuring pricing on every San Francisco 49er Ticket. And for a limited time, fans can use the code Kaepernick for added savings on every order.

Ravens Preseason Schedule Released – 2013 Ravens Tickets at RavensTickets.com from InsideTrackTickets.com
April 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment
(PRWEB) April 06, 2013
The Baltimore Ravens, and returning Super Bowl Champions, will open up their preseason against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the second week of the 2013 preseason, the Ravens will host the Atlanta Falcons. Their last two games will be against the Carolina Panthers and the St. Louis Rams. Although three of the matchups will be familiar to the Ravens, they have never played the Buccaneers in a preseason. Against the Atlanta Falcons, the Ravens are 6-3 all time. They are also 4-1 against the Panthers, and have no wins against the Rams in a preseason. The NFL is expected to release the regular season schedule in a few weeks.
Although the Baltimore Ravens have filled some holes in free agency, they will have some work to do to replace top players like Anquan Boldin, Bernard Pollard, and legend Ray Lewis. With 12 draft picks to work with, it should be possible to fill those spots. Tavon Austin will be one of their top picks if still available in the first round. Odds are he will be gone before the Ravens pick, but if he is will be a fast, stimulating target for the team. It will be interesting to see who the Ravens pick to fill their open spots.

Ravens to Open Season at Broncos as Complete NFL Schedule 2013 Edition Unveiled
April 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) April 19, 2013
The NFL unveiled the complete 2013 schedule on Thursday night. Fans around the world can now see who their favorite team will lock horns with during the 17 weeks of the upcoming campaign. To celebrate the release of the NFL schedule 2013 edition, Printable Brackets has compiled the individual schedules for all 32 teams. These schedules are printable and completely complimentary.
Thursday served as Christmas Day for many NFL fans around the globe, said Printable Brackets spokesperson Zaniel Worth. With the full 2013 NFL schedule released and the draft taking place next week, fans know that the start of the new season really isnt that far away.
The NFL 2013 schedule will open up with the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens travelling to Denver to face Peyton Manning and the Broncos. The defending champion typically opens the season at home, but the Ravens were forced to go on the road due to a scheduling conflict with Major League Baseballs Baltimore Orioles.
The Ravens needed a double-overtime miracle in the second round of the playoffs last year in Denver to even have a shot at winning the Super Bowl, said Worth. Im positive Manning and company havent forgotten about that painful loss. They have to be thrilled to open the new season against the team that ended their last one.
Other notable games in Week One include the New York Giants travelling to Dallas to collide with the Cowboys in the first Sunday night game, while the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Washington Redskins in the opener of a Monday night doubleheader.
Thanksgiving Day will feature another tripleheader, as the Detroit Lions will host the Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys will welcome the Oakland Raiders to Dallas, while the Ravens will do battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Baltimore.
The NFL is still the premier professional sports league in the United States, said Worth. With the NFL schedule 2013 edition finally out, the anticipation can begin.

February 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2013
Superbowl made a big noise on Sunday. But apart from the game itself, Green Bean Buddy said that superbowl commercials are among those highly anticipated by Americans. And to point out the reason why and to join the celebration at the same time, the said entertainment and sports news website compiled the funniest superbowl commercials.
As said by GreenBeanBuddy, Superbowl is considered a “de facto” American holiday. It shared that the reason behind is the fact that it is the most watched television broadcast of the year. Apart from that, it also related that Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest food-consumption day next to Thanksgiving.
Because of those two reasons, the site said that like the previous years, on Sunday, Superbowl XLVII again showcased not only an exciting game. It also showed the event’s commercial power, it added.
Superbowl XLVII was basically between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, detailed Green Bean Buddy. And as expected, everyone had his or her own predictions as to who will be the superbowl winners and at what superbowl score the game would end, it said.
But according to the website, the superbowl competition was not just between the Ravens and the 49ers. It was also between the advertisements from the beginning to the superbowl halftime show and to the end of the event, it said.
However, the site related that ads during the event did not come cheap. But with the millions of people they reached and the return of investment that they could get, it commented that spending big for the biggest sporting event was a risk the companies were willing to take. And given the trends in superbowl commercials, it stated that most of them go for funny advertisements.
To join in the superbowl fever and stress the impact of those funny advertisements to the event, Green Bean Buddy decided to compile its top ten funniest superbowl commercials. Its compilation basically featured 10 funny commercials and one bonus ad.
Most of the commercials the site included in its compilation were shown during the previous superbowls. There were two though, which were sneak peaks of the ads for this year. Green Bean Buddy urged its readers to check and enjoy the said funniest superbowl commercials.
