Sports and Economics Part 2: Salary Caps and the Stadium Game

May 15, 2026·32 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this second episode, Enoch and Tim go deeper into the machinery of professional sports economics. How do salary caps really work, and who do they really help? What is a player actually worth to a team? And when a city spends hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new stadium, is it a good deal for taxpayers? The answers turn out to be more surprising than most sports fans may expect.Recording Date: April 23, 2026Credits: Drew Elliot (music)
