...Hornets staffers also blame football for the team's slow start. They started selling tickets as the Saints kicked off a season that carried Super Bowl expectations (alas, they didn't even make the playoffs). Plus, up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University began a march to the national championship. "Our attendance is reflective of that circumstance," says Hugh Weber, the Hornets' president.

The crowd was not rowdy football fans; it was a group of shy local women and children who are unlikely to have seen the game, but came anyway to get a free Super Bowl T-shirt or hat.

And long before they bagged this year's Super Bowl, the New York Giants edged the Miami Dolphins at London's Wembley Stadium last October, in the first regular season NFL game played outside the Americas. Says Chadwick, "There's a global turf war taking place in sport. It's not just about revenue generation, it's about reinforcing and preserving a competitive position." Scudamore didn't need reminding. "If we don't do it, another sport is going...
