That's pretty much true, I think. Especially when the team (read that the owner) also gets the parking, concessions, etc.
But those projections are inflated. What difference does it make if I go to a Broncos game in Mile High Stadium or the new Invesco Field at Mile High? The money is still being spent in the same place by the same person -- just more of it is going to the team now. That can't be counted as an added benefit to the community.
As for the Native Americans, I'm a little over 1/8 Cherokee, but have never gotten a penny and never will. But that's my choice.
