But it’s not money well spent that’s the issue. No economist that isn’t paid directly or indirectly by the team believes that Arena spending works as an economic benefit.
Now if one argues that the community intangibles are worth spending the money to have the flames here and the concerts then sure you could argue it’s money well spent.
It however in no reasonable analysis is money well spent from a fiscal point of view.
