You assume the players spend their money elsewhere, but assume STHs will spend their money in town. Can you not see the weakness in these assumptions?

I agree that my above statements have a high variance that's why there are numerous studies linked previously that discuss this and conclude it's not worth the money. Argue that the civic pride makes it worth it or more concerts that you get to attend. There is a value in that. But quit pedalog the economic falsehood.
