    Isn’t that, like, all transit though? If the RV show is in town I wouldn’t expect them to pay for transit either.

        Which means more ridership (ticket revenue) and more tax revenue going into the area through other means, like hotels.

        Surely whatever logistics they use for NFL games can also be used here? How much more of a crowd could they be expecting?

          Most hotels are owned by large multinational corporations. As are the concessions at the various venues. The local area will see little if any of the money that comes in.

            tax revenue. People spend money, that money has sales tax, room tax, etc. Obviously the city does not own the hotels, restaurants, clothes and souvenir stores people will end up in, etc.
