We can say the same thing about football stadiums. We voted down a new stadium in SD. The biggest lie is the financial impact of the Super Bowl. What a joke!

When Phoenix hosted the Super Bowl two years ago, the consensus among downtown Scottsdale retailers was that business was quite a bit slower than normal. Regular tourists and locals avoided the area because of high hotel rates and fear of huge crowds that never materialized. And the football fans who did come spent nothing on items without team logos.

Soaked up a lot of our tax dollars, though...
