How do you figure out how much they’re going to bring in tourism dollars?
This is unfortunately something that we can only look at past events and how they preformed. If I remember correctly, Toronto isn’t building any new stadiums just for the World Cup games so they stand to make more money as there won’t be that huge need for infrastructure projects that would eat into the revenue generated by people coming to the city.
So where is this “tens of millions of dollars more” statement coming from? Where did you get your numbers?
