get what you’re saying but how much revenue does having an NFL team bring to a city? What is the economic impact on St Louis and San Diego and Oakland with their teams leaving?

NFL fans don't pour cash into a city.

Majority of them live close enough to park, tailgate, go to game, then head home.

they aren't like baseball, where they pack downtown all day, people filling hotel rooms from out of state(cardinals have season ticket holders from 23 states). spend cash at eateries, go to local scenic places, etc.

In the report, that local civic progress and pro stadium proponents showed, during them trying to keep the rams, it accidentally showed the City lost money with rams, and now can use the dome and convention center 12 months a year with no worrying about when are home games, and blocking out 5 months of dates. City makes more off the dome with rams gone.
