After projecting 2014 NBA All-Star to generate $89.6 million, a recent study by the University of New Orleans’ Hospitality Research Center found that the economic impact proved to be $106.1 million. A total of $60.4 million came in direct spending, with another $45.7 million in secondary spending.
Visitors spent an average of $904 during their mid-February trip to New Orleans, according to UNO’s study. As a result of such a large influx of out-of-town attendees at the event, roughly $4.9 million in tax revenue was generated for the state of Louisiana, with $3.2 million in tax revenue going to governments in the New Orleans area.

But how much in tax incentives did Jindal give TNT to film it in Louisiana?

Nice. Here's to hoping it comes back in 2018.

Proving how corrupt the city is.
There is so much money in the coffers yet consent decrees are to be paid for with taxes not voted on.
