No, they cancelled in advance enough that traveling fans can catch another show nearby
And you know this how?
IMO it's dumb to cancel a show at the expense of your fans. It'd be wiser to announce that "we won't be touring in X state because we disagree with X."

I'd be interested in knowing the economic impact a concert has.
For example, it makes sense (theoretically) for the NCAA not to put the final four somewhere in order not to give them the economic benefits that come with the event. A lot of that is premised on the idea that outside visitors and money will flow into an area with the event.
While I'm sure there is some of that with a concert, I'm guessing the majority of the money is Indiana money staying in Indiana (or going to Wilco, as the case may be). Perhaps it motivates Wilco supporters to take action (albeit perhaps for the wrong reasons), but I don't think it makes a lot of sense for anything but symbolism.
