Largely, what we've been told about attendance is BS. Its just marketing language. For example, there are literally rooms right now available in the core Northshore area (see below).
I'm not convinced this event is a net positive economic impact when you factor in how dead all the neighborhoods are because of traffic fears.

The @NFL's marketing language is great. I got no problems with it.
Wondering if the press and policymakers should be repeating it? Wondering what the actual economic impact of the draft is on the region?
We will never know......

@ak47eating@RyanDeto I can believe between 80k - 100k downtown. Not sure why we are amplifying NFL marketing language, instead of assessing actual numbers and actual economic impact on the city.
