There would have to be a pretty massive drop off for that to be a problem. The biggest costs are player/staff salaries and stadiums.

They can just keep the salary cap low and stop paying for new stadiums.

Umm no. NFL took in 15 Billion in 2015, 2/3 of the revenue came from TV, new stadiums over the last 20 years have totaled only $15 Billion of which almost half was financed by tax payers[0].

NFL will not weather well a continued hit to ratings, which were down 8% last year and dropping again this year
