Backers claim the new arena will create 440 new jobs in addition to those that already exist at Joe Louis Arena. This means that taxpayers are providing a subsidy of approximately $600,000 per new job created. Given how sports arenas are only open a handful of days of the year, jobs created at them tend to be temporary, low-paying food service jobs. Sports teams are simply too small a component of the local economy to serve as an engine of economic development. michigancapitolconfidential/19935
