- tax receipts are the only legitimate yardstick for judging a stadium's success
- the stadium is likely to leave the city better off economically on balance
- the construction phase of the stadium will generate employment
- the stadium will succeed in drawing any visitors to the area
- public subsidies for the stadium will exceed the revenue its operations produce
