Maloney asks how the fan initiatives translated into economic impact. Lasry says the host committee did a regional economic impact report and did not break it down by city or state, relying on the city and NYC Tourism for city-specific analysis.

Virginia Maloney

And from those initiatives, do you know how that translated into real economic impact?

Virginia Maloney

And if you have those estimates or anything you could share.

So as a regional bid committee, we did a regional economic impact and didn't break anything down by city or state.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

We were very intentional about the fact that, again, for us being the New York, New Jersey host committee, we really viewed this as a strong New Jersey was going to lead to a strong New York and a strong New York was going to lead to a stronger New Jersey.

And so for us, our economic impact report really was a regional impact report.

I would probably rely on the city and NYC Tourism and whoever else to put together a city-specific economic impact.
