This is true of lots of projects. A lot of them don’t cost almost $1b of public money. A lot that do have much more crucial benefits beyond the economic side. So why is it unreasonable to ask that the people touting economic benefit actually show one that justifies the cost? If you’re going to bring it up as something that justifies it, it… should… no? Or there’s no point in bringing it up.
Again, it’s fine if the answer is “we need entertainment.” But if you’re going to pretend the justification for this is the economic benefits, you have to actually show it. That seems straightforward.

Yeah I don’t think anyone is doing that
