About the project
About Sports Are For Nerds — Sports Business Intelligence
A modern business intelligence platform for sports — focused on the economics of fandom. We answer questions like: which teams build the most efficiently? and where are fans actually showing up?
Data first
Payroll, attendance, wins, and operating spend — pulled together in one place.
Smart visuals
Cost-per-win, attendance-per-dollar, and trends over multiple seasons.
No noise
Not a betting site. Not fantasy. Not generic stats. Just the business behind the game.
Built to scale
MLB now. NBA, NFL, NHL, and global leagues coming next.
Methodology
- · Payroll figures reflect Opening Day 26-man + injured + retained salary obligations.
- · Attendance is total paid season tickets distributed across regular-season home games.
- · Cost per Win = Total Payroll ÷ Regular-Season Wins.
- · Efficiency Score is a 0–100 composite of cost-per-win, attendance-per-dollar, and winning percentage.
