I've been dubious that it is ACTUALLY a net gain for the municipality. Because it's always a percent of a percent. A percentage of the revenue goes to those businesses. And only a percentage of the money that DOES stay that finds it way in to the local communities coffers. And then only a percentage of that gets used to the benefit of the locals.
My gut answer is that if the team cannot afford its own accomodations, it isn't really a viable business.
The team can make extra money leasing the facility out to other customers for other events just like they suggest the city should do.
