You forget they rent out these stadiums for other events.
That Taylor Swift woman had an increase on the GDP of the USA last year when she toured the world selling out multiple dates in STADIUMS around the world.
The World Cup just brought in BILLIONS in revenue to the USA. Selling out stadiums in Foxboro, Dallas, NJ, Seattle, KC, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, etc.
I do not know what FIFA paid Robert Kraft to rent the stadium that the Kraft Group owns in Foxboro, MA. I suspect it was somewhere between $50K-$100K for each of the four games they played there. That does not include all the staff required to put on an event. From concessions to security.
There is a reason why municipalities are willing to help pay for these 1-2 billion stadiums. The annual tax revenue alone is a huge economic driver.
Actually, it has been proven time and again, that taxpayer funded stadiums do not do much for the economy as a whole for cities and it doesn’t bring in the money they claim.

I can't even imagine going to a 50k+ seat stadium for a concert. When the Beatles played Shea Stadium they couldn't hear the monitor speakers - although I was too young I suppose it would be a great talking point to attend even though it had to be a zoo. I prefer smaller acoustically sound halls IF/WHEN POSSIBLE, but end up seeing most concerts at SPAC.
