When NBC, ABC, CBS and all national media along with social media influencers descend on a city to report, cover and even tweet about the Super Bowl, attention and spotlight is brought to that city. The weeks leading up to the SuperBowl is filled with lots of hype and cheer that remains months and sometimes years after the event.

The clout even extends globally in some cases as hashtags and pictures are distributed and shared globally throughout social media apps like Facebook and Instagram
Influx of People leads to direct and indirect Jobs.
According to Amir Somoggi the economic impact of the Super Bowl event is huge, with amounts exceeding $600 million in direct and indirect revenues. These huge figures create jobs for people in the days leading up to the event and after. Example, more Uber drivers are driving visitors around.
The Super Bowl also exposes a city’s lack of certain infrastructure like a bigger airport, more hotels and that leads to developers building these types of infrastructure leading to direct jobs in construction as an example.

Proper management of ticket scalping situations is vital to any and all teams and/or organizations. Someone working in the sports field to reduce risks should be aware of the regulations of ticket scalping in each and every state. Teams especially need to be on the lookout for people illegally scalping their tickets, as the Patriots did (a RARE circumstance where they can be commended for doing something right). If someone is making money off tickets, that’s money that should be going to the sport teams. Without maximizing profits, an organization in this economy could swiftly

In the article titled, “Arrogance, Deceit, Oversaturation At Root of NFL’s Ratings Decline”, CBS Boston writer Michael Hurley provides a long list of reasons as to why he believes the usually strong viewership and high ratings of the NFL on TV have gone down dramatically this year. Hurley touches upon a myriad of varying potential causes for the decline of the NFL’s ratings in order to provide his audience, likely sports fans, with an idea as to what exactly is going on to create such a problem. Although Hurley notifies the audience of various factors that may be causing the ratings to go down, his argument lacks depth and credibility due to an evident lack of ethos. Furthermore, Hurley seems to undermine the problem’s complex nature by hastily

According to Statista the average price for a regular season game is $93 and the Super Bowl's average ticket price is $4000. The NFL has the ability to jack up ticket prices based on how important the game is or how good the teams are meaning the games aren't about the fans it's about making the maximum amount of money. The NFL also have the ability to set rules and equipment regulations since they are the governing body of football. Another thing the NFL proving it has a monopoly is it’s complete control of ruling when games are played. College football games are usually always saturdays, then on Sundays, Monday Night, and Thursday Night the NFL takes up all the remaining TV time.

The article “Taxpayers Have Spent A 'Staggering' Amount of Money On NFL Stadiums” by Travis Waldron draws attention to two main points. First that American Taxpayers spent an estimated seven billion dollars to help construct twenty- nine of the thirty- one NFL stadiums in our country. This placed the risk of bankruptcy on the taxpayers rather than on the league whose annual revenue is more than ten billion dollars. Second, cities in America love their football teams and will spend very large amounts of money to keep their hometown franchises in place. The author finishes the article by saying, “That $7 billion figure will only continue to grow long after the NFL season begins Thursday night” (Waldron).

Most of the public thinks that the NFL is revenue driven, but that is not totally accurate. They do not circulate their surplus assets, but instead, they set them aside and use them for things in the future. In fact, the NFL has an excluded status with the IRS, which means a lot of the money that comes is not being taxed by the IRS. Which for right now makes the NFL one of the biggest professional sports business today by holding that status with the IRS. The funds of the NFL are unmatched in every single skilled game they have.

The stadium and all of the urban development that followed created a sense of pride in residents of Baltimore that they had previously lacked, perhaps even since Art Modell snuck the Colts out of the city in the middle of the night. It had been a long time since residents in Baltimore could agree on something and now, Baltimore had a place to gather, a team to cheer for, and a number of bars and restaurants to frequent in a newly revitalized part of the city. Pride is a difficult thing to quantify. What is the benefit of pride? A part from creating more fans, buzz for the team and the sponsorships that come with that, pride also means that fans are more likely to go to games, buy merchandise and watch the games when they can 't go in person.

The Olympics almost always cause negative economic effects for cities. Although cities expect to earn revenue through the Olympics, not many cities generate a substantial amount of revenue. Los Angeles, the host city of the 1984 Olympics, is a rare example of a city profiting from the Olympics: “Los Angeles actually profited by $100 million from the 1984 Summer Olympics mostly by using existing stadiums” (Perryman 17). That city did generate money, but cities
