If you live in downtown Fayetteville, you see the event as an occupying force. Those folks have a symbiotic relationship with the University, so football games and the sort are a way of life, no bother. If you have a weekend marked on the calendar as "TIME TO LEAVE TOWN," you're going to resent every part of it. I think we can all agree that having the event on your doorstep is going to fatigue even the best of us.
Also, economic impact analysis is probably the most dubious enterprise. It's usually based on the best performing projection multiplied by businesses. They're also usually sought out by folks who would appreciate high projections, too.
Yeah, while I don't mind BBBQ and see it as an accepted burden, the revenue projections are like a strength and conditioning coach's announcement of offseason 40 times in that it behooves that person/people/institution to propagate high numbers.

Yes! And then use those numbers to lobby folks/decision makers to support the cause with no objection. Cities and taxpayers fall for it all the time.
And I fell for it too. Veltkamp is getting those boys football ready, I thought. Hook, line, sinker.
