I believe there’s been a number of studies that have shown sports stadiums in general are not the economy boom that they are hyped up to be.
Teams get to collect real cash while the taxpayers get the implied benefit into the economy (ie nada)

Yeah, a baseball stadium basically has the same economic impact on a city as a mid-sized department store. And that's a sport with 81 home games a year! The economic impact of a football stadium would be even considerably less than that.
