Actual thought being given to the notion that Michigan State playing in the title game is not an economic boon for Dee-troit. The UConn fans, for example, have left town leaving their hotel rooms empty.
Just more proof that calculating this “economic impact” stuff is more complicated than it appears, as we note with regard to both Chapel Hill and Myrtle Beach officials declaring that some visitors to their towns cost more than they bring in. In the case of Chapel Hill, it was public library patrons, in Myrtle’s case it was bikers.
This can only mean one thing — Go Tar Heels!
