The Short answer is professional sports teams have little effect on the local economy.

Contrary to common belief that sports teams bring in additional business and tourism to the area, there has been no study to suggest that the effects are a positive one. Several studies have been done, in New Hampshire, Indianapolis and most other major cities. However the only cities that received a positive influence were those of smaller cities and the effects were minor. Most other cities experienced no change or a decrease in the local economy. Those cities that did experience a negative outcome were almost always cities that used the publics money to fund the team and it's stadium.
