Fenway Park will be renting out the Winter Classic Ice Rink for $10,000 an HOUR! No joke.
The NHL is charging FSG (Fenway Sports Group) $16,000 per day that the rink is up, so I guess they have to make money somehow. But $10,000 AN HOUR??? Talk about turning a profit.
According to the Boston Globe:
Sam Kennedy, executive vice president and COO of the Red Sox as well as president of Fenway Sports Group, there has been no shortage of folks lining up to reserve the time.
“I can tell you that the interest [in one-hour rentals] has been overwhelming,’’ said Kennedy. “The price has not been a deterrent whatsoever. But this is geared, really, to our corporate base.”
The Red Sox are an absolute cash cow. With that kind of money coming in, the Red Sox have no excuse for spending under the salary cap next season. No excuse. The Sox should sign top tier free agents to fill all their needs, including an outfielder to replace Jason Bay.
There is no excuse for shopping in the bargain bin for players like John Smoltz, Brad Penny and Rocco Baldelli anymore.
The Red Sox are a big market team making big market money. Its time to start spending like the Yankees do. God knows they have the money.
