Not that big of a deal and everyone in town make more money because of it


Really, because almost every single study says just the opposite.

That is because every single study looks at all of the stadiums. Of course the #'s never match when you throw in public financing for outdoor football and baseball stadiums because of their limited scheduling abilities. Domed or retractable roof multipurpose stadiums make a lot more money because they can be used for so many other things in addition to football. Then when you add in the fact that it is a destination city so the tax bill is mostly being paid by tourists instead of residents it becomes a good deal.
