But I couldn't imagine the economic fallout if the events hosted there didn't happen. It would likely be worse.

Likely worse for WHO. The lower end illegal's who cant get work elsewhere who send 90% of their money home to support Mexico's economy. Dont tell about the "economic advantages" to a city for which there are very few people who are paying the taxes each and every day but who will never see the inside of any of the monuments to greed. F*** the NFL , NBA, MLB, and all the rest who take and never give back. Oh wait, I digress; the colts did give some coats to about 50 kids last year for the cold winter. Wow, what a good gesture.
