a Super Bowl. That’s it.
You may need to get a grip of your lack of knowledge about sports, me thinks.
There were over 85,000 attendees from every state & from all over the world last week in STL alone & that’s not counting the 1000+ media members, players & PGA staff (350 greenskeepers from PGA clubs alone are included in that & they were in STL for multiple weeks).
It & St. Louis were televised to over half a Billion homes in over 200 countries & 20 territories.
The main difference between a PGA Championship & the Super Bowl is that the PGA comes in months & months ahead of time & builds a brand new stadium with all the accompanying amenities at & on the course!!
The infrastructure & it’s creation over many months with the resulting vast economic infusion, as opposed to an existing structure & it’s existing infrastructure regardless of whether the event takes place or not is what makes the PGA Championship an even more unique & economic opportunity than a Super Bowl.
There were more people at Bellerive throughout last week than there have ever been at a Super Bowl.
