What say you?
San Diego voted down a 4% increase on hotels to build a new stadium.
Opponents claim there is not an economic benefit or the the tax revenue could be spent on something that would generate more of an economic benefit.
I can see both sides of the argument and think it can vary greatly depending on the city or region. I'm sure beer distributors, grocery stores, hotels and restaurants in Pittsburgh experience more sales due to Steelers games, but the question is would that money ultimately be spent elsewhere if city didn't have an NFL team?
