Abstract:

Revenues from youth and amateur sporting events are great contributors to the state's economy. For example, sporting events of this type bring an annual economic impact of over $100 million in both Charlotte and Raleigh. College football weekends can bring in between $2 and $6 million, depending on the size of the school. Golfers spend about $4 billion dollars a year on their recreational sport.
