We had a pretty cheap NFL stadium. Then, a new owner built a Biggie! With lots of retail and restaurants around it. The team went on to win 6 Super Bowls! It’s a great benefit to the town’s budget.
Luckily, that whole complex is away from the center/downtown area. It has stayed very New England village like. Really nice central park and plenty of small businesses. A community theater and a new brewpub that went into the old fire station.
There are countless people that have visited town for the football games and have never seen the town center. Of course, that’s a double edge sword, not inundated with people, but, lose out on more $$ for the small businesses.
