Someone's Making Money. Mostly The League And The TV Network, Though

So, will New York and the metro area make a windfall of money from the Super Bowl, like the $600 million figure thrown around by the media? Probably not even close. In fact, it's more like $60 million, maybe less, and a lot of that is money that would have been spent there anyway (the Super Bowl displaces dollars that would have been spent on hotels, restaurants, etc., it doesn't add to it. A dollar's a dollar). Exposure? Did New York need to publicize what New York has? And the only folks who REALLY benefit are the NFL. So... why? (NBC News)
