Can't see that this has been posted. The entire article is worth a read regarding teams stadiums and relative profits. I've copied the Sharks part below. We need to drink more beer to bring that catering figure up...

CRONULLA SHARKS
Remondis Stadium
Capacity: 22,000
Expenditure
Operational costs: $70,000 (Ticketing, security, police, big screen)
Maintenance/utilities: $48,000 (The Sharks own their ground, so they are responsible for the maintenance of the stadium)
Total: $118,000
Revenue
Merchandise: $17,000 per game
Corporates: $145,000 per game
Ticket sales: $93,000 per game
Signage: $40,000 per game
Catering: $10,000 per game
Total: $305,000 per game
The Sharks are the only club in Sydney to own their own ground. Their game day expenditure is far greater than any other team given they have to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the ground. The Sharks don't have a major sponsor but still managed average crowds in excess of 13,000 the past two seasons. They have started 2014 with a home crowd average of 11,903 for their first four games.
