This is reflective of the consistently strong demand for games on TV and tickets. Revenue is actually coming in higher than forecasts, even in down years.

From what I heard on ESPN, the cap was higher than normal because teams were not using enough of thier cap space and the players have some sort of provision for that that increases it so that teams like the skins can spend more.
