It's not solely an economic argument unless you can somehow put value to all the other things a sports team does for a city. If you're looking for an economic argument the answer to a new building and the flames will always be no and it's not wrong depending on what you care about.
It's definitely not solely an economic argument. Even poor old KK gets that, when he trotted out his Colosseum story.

The pro arena side should could do more in talking about all the value a new arena would bring to the city.
