The economic benefits of sports arenas and professional teams isn't something we have to rely on anecdote and speculation to reach a conclusion about. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of case studies, and the verdict is in: they provide little to no benefit. That's what the independent studies have concluded. Any other conclusions are wishful thinking or alternative facts.
