Forbes values St. Louis Rams at $708 million
The St. Louis Rams current value increased by $106 million from last season to $708 million, up 17 percent from 2003, according to figures released Friday by Forbes magazine.
However, the local National Football League team dropped a spot in the rankings to No. 19 from No. 18 last year.
Forbes calculates the value of the teams based on its current stadium deal without deducting for debt, other than stadium debt. The complete list will appear in its Sept. 20 issue.
Forbes said the Rams 2003 revenue was $157 million, up from $150 million in 2002. The team's debt-to-value ratio is 14 percent, including stadium debt, and its operating income was $21.8 million.
The Washington Redskins again ranked No. 1 on the list, with a current value of $1.1 billion, up from $952 million last year. The Dallas Cowboys ranked No. 2, followed by the Houston Texans. The Arizona Cardinals, formerly of St. Louis, again had the lowest value at $552 million.
Forbes said the average team is worth $733 million, up 17 percent from last year.
In comparison, Forbes valued the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball team at $314 million last year and ranked the National Hockey League's St. Louis Blues at $147 million.
