How much income can be generated by the operation of a radio controlled blimp?
The income produced by the blimp will depend on the venue size in which the blimp is flying and the type of contract negotiated with the sponsor. Typically the selling price for the sponsorship for the smaller indoor arenas (3000-8000 seats) will range from $500 to $1000.00 per game, depending on the frequency of games during the season. Mid-sized arenas (8000-14000 seats) should range from $800 to $1500 per game, and large arenas will range from $1200 to $3000 per game. For indoor stadiums with 45,000 plus seats, a single game event can bring in up to $6000 in revenue. Multi year contracts with a sponsor that guarantees income for several years are the most common types of contracts. However, some teams or arenas choose to sell sponsorship on a per game/event basis, yielding even greater returns than show before. In most cases, you should be able to payoff your blimp in half of the season, or less.
