A recent study found that most stadiums do not cause growth. Now, the Ballpark in Arlington and JerryWorld, aka ATT Stadium, home of the Cowboys, have seen significant growth. Also, there has been a significant amount of growth around the American Airlines Center in Dallas. But the growth is due more to the overall growth of the cities, not specifically the stadiums. For example, Six Flags is adjacent to the Ballpark in Arlington, and brings in thousands daily, open most of the year.
stadiums did not cause growth - some businesses moving closer is not necessarily growth
