I doubt it. 100k people each spent $1,700 that they weren't going to spend in Dallas anyway?

These studies are such bullshit.

Responses:

Flights and hotels are probably $1,000 or so with tickets another $250. I don't think it's that unreasonable. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:25 2
- Money from flights might not be included though, because most of it doesn't stay in Dallas, and what does isn't incremental - Roger More Nov 16, 11:29 1
  - That's a good point. You're right. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:30
*shrug* that's what the Mayor is saying... - Remlik Nov 16, 11:24 14

    - Poor Pete just wanted to say that Wrestlemania boosts economies. He didn't allow for replies from accountants. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:33 7
      - I'm more of an economist and a multiplier should be applied. I don't know about a 5x multiplier though. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 11:38 3
        
        Hey Kid Ego, I was talking about Spammy. -- nm - David Nov 16, 11:45 2
        
        accountants = plural! No one wants to be referred to as an accountant if they are not. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 11:51 1
        
        HEY! We have a superhero and everything now! -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 11:55
      - My reaction is if that type of money is available for a Wrestlemania then America isn't hurting as much as the voters say -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 11:36 1
        
        Lol, duh. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 11:44
      - Oh, this wasn't meant at him at all. It's a particular sore spot for me. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 11:35
    - I think the "impact-derived" formulation is where they came up with a lot of cash -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 11:32
- So they spent $33.4m on hotels/restaurants and $137m on *shrug* -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 11:25 2
  - Looks like they're applying a multiplier. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 11:32
  - souvenirs spam. Lots and lots of those cow balls that hang from your hitch -- nm - decline Nov 16, 11:28
