I just was playing poker against a Pats fan and he seemed to think that almost all revenue is shared evenly among the 32 teams EXCEPT:
Luxury boxes and Merchandise sold within some radius of the stadium.

Is this true? I find it hard to believe. Does anyone know how it does work?
Thanks

no... the only things shared are. (btw: i am by no means an expert on the revenue sharing, but this is based upon what I've been lead to believe)

Gates (80% home, 20% visiting team)
TV (total / 32)
Logo/trademark (video games/movies)
Advertising Fees on National (and most local) Add Campaigns (Campbell Soup commercials)
Team Apparel (though i think this one is not shared evenly, i think 50% of apparel goes to the team who's logo it is, and the rest is shared)

what is not shared:
Luxury Box Sales
In Stadium Advertising
Some Local Advertising Fees (though I'm not clear what qualifies for this one)
Stadium Naming Rights
