And there will be multiple concerts taking place, too.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”The league wants to do more Salt Lake and Utah-themed events, too. When the game was announced in 2018, the team teased a tie-in with the Sundance Film Festival; well see if and to what extent a movie-themed event takes place. You can bet that the NBAs Tech Summit that usually takes place at All-Star Weekend will be even bigger than normal, thanks to the impact of Silicon Slopes.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”More league-sponsored events will be revealed in the coming months. But there will also be numerous unofficial events hosted by sponsors, agencies, players, and other NBA-adjacent organizations. In Charlotte, the host of the 2019 All-Star Game, there were 36 league-sanctioned events, but approximately another 150 unofficial events tied to the NBA in some manner.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”How many people will come?”,”type”:”header”},{“content”:”The NBA says that 100,000 people will attend one of All-Star Weekends events in Cleveland. Among that, they say 40,000 folks are expected to be non-local. They also say expect a similar number in Salt Lake City next year.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Im a little bit skeptical of that number. For one, the event organizers have said that they require about 6,000 hotel rooms in the host city; Charlottes analysis also found that, at peak, about 6,000 hotel rooms were used in that city in the 2019 All-Star game. (Meanwhile, downtown Salt Lake City has about 7,275 hotel rooms and the new convention center hotel under construction on the corner of 200 South and West Temple is expected to add another 700.)”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Frankly, its hard for me to get 40,000 people into using 6,000 hotel rooms at peak. In 2017s New Orleans All-Star Game, 78% of surveyed overnight guests from out of state stayed in hotels (while the rest stayed with friends or family, or in AirBnb-style accomodations). 67% did not bring children. Some number of people surely stayed for different parts of the All-Star weekend.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”But 40,000? I suspect that includes some double-counting. LSUs analysis of 2017 suggested 18,911 outside visitors to at least one of the All-Star events. Some people might come in to Utah and not attend any event, but I dont think its going to reach 40,000.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Regardless if its 10,000 or 40,000, its a lot of people coming into town from out of state, and some large further number of Utahns descending on downtown Salt Lake City in particular that may well approach six digits. Cleveland is closing sections of eight streets for the weekend, and limiting parking on many more. You should expect some of that in Salt Lake City as well.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”What economic impact will this have on SLC and Utah?”,”type”:”header”},{“content”:”What is economic impact, anyway? The idea is to measure the amount of spending that happens in the economy due to a certain event taken place in short, so you can decide whether or not to bend over backwards to host that event.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Economic impact studies are famously easy to massage in order to tell a story. One prominent sports economist, Vanderbilt Universitys John Vrooman, says that The basic rule of thumb in judging cost-benefit analyses is to simply move the decimal point one place to the left to correct for the money-for-nothing self-promotion bias. In other words, if the NBA says that the All-Star Game is worth $100 million, make that $10 million.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”After looking at the numbers, Im not that bearish on it, though. I think there are a couple of worthwhile looks at the endeavor that suggest lower-but-more-reasonable numbers for the economic benefits of hosting an All-Star Game.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”One comes from the previously-cited LSU study of the 2017 All-Star Game. Earlier, we saw that they estimated how many people came to New Orleans for the festivities. Then, they asked how much each person spent on average, and split that depending on whether they attended The Big Event or if they attended some other small event instead.”,”type”:”text”},{“type”:”image”},{“content”:”They multiplied the number of Louisiana visitors by the amount of money they spent, and got $23.7 million. To me, that makes sense as an approach!”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”What would you expect from a similar calculation in Salt Lake City? On one hand, inflation means adding on 15% from 2017, right from the get-go. Thanks to the lower supply of hotel rooms in Salt Lake compared to New Orleans, it might be reasonable to expect higher average lodging costs. Visitors to Utah might be inclined to ski, a high-dollar activity.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”On the other hand, well, theres no gambling in Utah. And while we might be making some liquor law concessions, theres little comparison to New Orleans. People might be more willing to extend their stay in party-oriented New Orleans than community-focused Utah.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Beyond the $23.7 million, the LSU study also added in the $18.7 million that the NBA spent to host the event, the $1.4 million media spent on the trip, and about $3.9 million of spending of sponsors who didnt attend the games. Those may seem like high numbers, but I actually believe that theyre accurate or somewhat close: these are big-spending events for the league and its partners.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”In total, we get $44.9 million in initial spending, direct economic impact from out-of-state visitors.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Then and essentially every economic impact study does this they take a big leap: not only did those companies that received the $44.9 million get that money, but, the thinking goes, theyre likely to spend their newfound profits on something else local a restaurant might buy new tables, for example. Then, the table company might go buy more local Utah wood and make more tables from it. Therefore, more rounds of spending occur that wouldnt have otherwise happened, all as a result of the event. The LSU economists estimate a total of $82 million of economic impact, across all of the rounds.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Its a little bit specious to me. Look at that table above again; a big percentage of spending is on hotel accommodations. Are the big hotel chains likely to spend the money they got from the All-Star Weekend in that same locale? No way! Theyll keep the money or build a new hotel in Aruba or someplace. Ditto with meals eaten at chains I know that the Cheesecake Factory will be packed in City Creek during next years All-Star Game, but its hard for me to believe that well see significant knock-on effects in Utah. Much of the Shopping spending, for example, might realistically go to pop-up stores that will last in Salt Lake City for a week.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Interestingly, the people studying the Charlotte All-Star Weekend calculated economic impact in the other direction: they used real tax figures from the city and county governments, and then used the difference in All-Star Weekend vs. a normal weekend to calculate the direct economic impact. They found that the 2019 All-Star Weekend was worth $48 million in direct impact. It gives me confidence that two different approaches returned similar results.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Overall, Im going to bet that $50 million is a pretty good guess for the direct economic impact you can really expect from the 2023 All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City. Note that the actual Utah Jazz see very little or none of that money: tickets are sold by the NBA, and they keep the profits.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”How does $50 million stack up to other benchmarks? The Tribune reported back in 1993 that the All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake led to an estimated $10 million in direct economic impact, or about $19 million in 2022 dollars after accounting for inflation. However, All-Star Weekend is smaller than the annual Sundance Film Festival, which estimated $135 million from out-of-state visitors for the 2020 festival. Those rich movie-industry folks spend a lot of money, it turns out.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”And $50 million in impact does lead to increased tax revenue. The 2017 All-Star Weekend was estimated to lead to $2.5 million in sales taxes in New Orleans, while 2019s festivities led to an estimated $4.7 million in local sales taxes in Charlotte.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”There is, too, a cost to hosting the game. Because were still in the early stages of planning, we dont have figures on how much Salt Lake Citys hosting will cost well be sure to report it out at The Tribune as we learn more. But Charlotte, again, can be a guide: the city there spent $600,000 on police and transportation services, and waived $1.5 million in sales taxes on tickets for sponsors and something in their books called the NBA All-Star Host Fee.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Slicker liquor and Salt Lake Citys reputation”,”type”:”header”},{“content”:”One of Utahs primary worries during the 1993 Salt Lake City All-Star Game was what the assembled masses would think of the liquor laws.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”Then, drinkers couldnt enter bars unless they were either beer-only or a member of the private clubs. But in 1993, tourism and government officials passed out thousands of special visitor passes that allowed a person and up to four friends to get in a bar. Those who didnt get one handed to them could buy one for $5.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”And it did change some minds about Salt Lake City, even if those who visited were always pretty aware that the locals were trying their darndest to please them. As Chicago Tribune columnist Bernie Lincicome wrote then, If Salt Lake now thinks more of itself than it did before the NBAs finest passed through, no harm done. The town certainly treated the entire weekend as if it were being authenticated for actual civilization.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”To be clear, changing the rules for a weekend is something that most cities end up doing for All-Star, in order to take as much advantage of the incoming crowds as possible. In Cleveland, for example, selected hotels are being allowed to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. for the weekend. I dont think you should expect similar measures taken in Salt Lake City this weekend.”,”type”:”text”},{“content”:”At least in 2023, bars are, thankfully, open to the general public. But Utahs liquor laws still are a bit strange in particular, the necessity to buy alcohol at a local state-run liquor store can trip visitors up.
