A new economic report suggests Super Bowl LIV brought in $572 million to the South Florida economy. That’s double the economic impact of Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, the last time Miami hosted the game.

The report comes from the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee. Many economists suggest impact numbers are often inflated by groups looking to back up their investments in a given event.

Still, Super Bowl LIV was likely higher than previous games, according to Kathleen Davis, CEO of the Sports Management Research Institute, which authored the report. Visitor spending was double that of other weeks during the year, which likely helped keep the community humming during the COVID-19 shutdowns.

How the pandemic might affect Super Bowl LV in Tampa is yet to be fully determined. There are currently 52 infrastructure-related projects in the works to support February’s game. The NFL has yet to comment on Super Bowl fan plans.

Super Bowl LIV Impact:

— 35% of visitors were from the Kansas City area and 11.9% were from the San Francisco area.

— 368,011 visitor night stays.

— $242,674 average annual income of visitors.

— $34 million in state and local tax revenue.

— $1,781 per day spent by visitor groups.

— $593 per day spent per person.

A day after bringing Michael Jordan on as a special advisor to the board of directors and equity holder, DraftKings kept its Chicago-related deals coming, announcing a partnership with the Chicago Cubs. Along with becoming the Cubs’ exclusive sports betting partner, DraftKings is planning a flagship retail sports book at Wrigley Field.

The sportsbook will need approval from the city of Chicago and Illinois Gaming Board. It is unclear how the revenue from the sportsbook will be split between the team and DraftKings. Since MLB owners aren’t permitted to have equity stakes in gambling companies, much of the return for the Cubs would likely come through rental income.

A retail sportsbook at Wrigley Field would be among the first in a U.S. sports venue. Last month, William Hill officially opened a sportsbook at Capital One Arena, home of the Washington Capitals, Mystics and Wizards.

The English Premier League has terminated its TV deal in China. Valued at more than $700 million, it was the most lucrative overseas deal for the world’s most-watched sports league.

Suning Holdings, the broadcast partner, had failed to pay $200 million due in March. It was in the first year of the three-year deal.

2020 hasn’t been kind to the Premier League, which was required to pay back millions of dollars to broadcast partners because of coronavirus disruptions.

The U.K. banned Chinese tech giant Huawei in July, creating political tension. At this time, however, it appears the deal fell apart purely because the broadcaster failed to pay.

Suning owns Italian soccer club Inter Milan and agreed to the deal with the Premier League to pay more than 12 times the previous Chinese media rights deal.

International rights fees make up approximately half of the Premier League’s $11.7 billion in broadcast rights revenue from its 2019-2022 cycle. The league is broadcast in more than 200 territories across the world.
