The Senior Bowl lost more than $150,000
putting on this year's game in January, and organizers say they're
looking at other possible host cities, in part, because of
uncertainty about the long-term financial viability in Mobile.
Tax filings by the Mobile Arts & Sports Association show that
over the past five years, the event has made enough money to award
$1.1 million in charitable donations, while accruing $1.2 million
in profit.
But organizers say ticket sales and sponsorships slumped in the
face of the worst recession in the game's 58-year history in
Mobile.
Victor Lott Jr., chairman of association, says expenses for the
game are rising, while revenue has peaked.
