I'm talking about the economic impact over their respective seasons. If you study the numbers, you'll find the Indians have as much of an impact on downtown businesses as the Pacers. I would also note the Pacers numbers are inflated. Many season tickets to Pacers games go unusued.

The Pacers can't them attending if the tickets are sold whether they show for the game or not.Gary R.
