But I believe it would bring an economic boom it's not about necessarily getting direct value out of a stadium. It's about getting super wealthy people to want to invest in the future of OKC. The best way to do that is to get them near the city and want to be around it, therefore nothing attracts the wealthy like a state-of-the-art arena.
There are studies that say the opposite. That’s all I can tell you.
