Typically, to be an owner in any capacity of a sports team, one has to be fantastically wealthy to even think of it. However, for the sports fan with some money to invest, there are a small number of publicly traded sports teams, a number of which are not bad stock choices.
Not a lot in America
Pink Floyd points out how nice it would be to own a sports team in the song "Money" where it talks about the ownership. You have to be prosperous to get in on the action though. This is because most groups are personally owned. It is not very inexpensive to start owning an entire sports team, especially if the team is good.
You could always purchase a share in a publicly-traded sports team though, and technically you own part of the team for a small amount of money. There are only a few numbers of sports teams publicly traded though, and most of them are not United States groups.
A very fast Initial Public Offering
The Wall Street Journal explained that Formula One, the premier racing series in the world, could not hold its initial public offering planned for earlier this year due to decisions made by majority owner CVC Capital Partners. Later this year, the IPO in Singapore might still take place, though it is on hold for now.
Instead of doing an IPO in Singapore where the Manchester United was planning on doing it at first, it is being done in the United States, which is great news. The Wall Street Journal explained that the Glazer family owns most of the Manchester team, which is the New York Yankees of soccer, and they also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of Football. The Initial Public Offering is already scheduled, according to the Atlantic.
Be cautious
Manchester United, once trading begins, can be a good buy in the long run, as it is basically the biggest sports franchise on the planet. Madison Square Gardens, the well-known venue, is also not a bad stock, according to Daily Finance, as it has consistently traded above the Standard and Poor 500 industry average.
According to Daily Finance, it would not be good to publicly trade World Wrestling Entertainment since it has not been doing very well. BusinessWeek also points out that the American Basketball Association is trading for 5 cents per share, which is also bad.
Some other famous soccer teams are publicly owned but according to the Atlantic, do not do also as typical stocks, as their industry performance is heavily tied to game performance, and losing streaks tend to tank share value.
Only one American sports team is publicly-traded, namely the Green Bay Packers. They are an oddity, as the National Football League forbids more than 32 owners of any one team. However, the Packers joined the league before the rule was instated. It's a terrible investment, though. The stock cannot be sold for profit and the team, a non-profit, pays no dividends.
