Market size does not matter that much in the NFL, but your market does. The Texans have never been to the playoffs and have never won more than eight games in a season. Yet this year the team increased its average ticket price 3.7%, to $67.37. The Texans had the nerve to boost ticket prices because the Houston economy is much stronger than most NFL cities and the team's average ticket price will still be a few dollars lower than the league average. The Texans celebrated their 70th consecutive sellout at Reliant Stadium against the Bears in the last game of the 2008 season. The team's $300 million stadium naming rights deal with Reliant is the richest in the NFL.
Major corporate sponsors are Verizon Communications (nyse: VZ), MillerCoors, Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola (nyse: KO), MasterCard (nyse: MA). Naming rights sponsor is Reliant Energy (nyse: RRI).
