I think from an economic standpoint business would have better been if the Phillies would have won- I just don't see the San Fran fans being as die hard as the Philly fans in terms of traveling to support their team but who knows- remember San Fran was huge underdogs but after all it's the world series so money should be generated- Go Rangers Originally Posted by wellendowed1911That's because You guys aren't taking into account northern California is a big area, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento. Trust me, there are plenty of rabid Giants fans with money to spend.
Bad news, its the Giants that are coming to town next weekend, half their fans are gay. OK, maybe just kidding. But seriously, is the Series going to be good for the local provider economy? Ladies, are you planning any changes in marketing? Just kind of curious. I for one hope all of you do well, but stay in North Texas. Originally Posted by Mr Clean

I am sure the local providers love that claim.
If I had to guess, I will say it will be slow.You don't suppose a town full of drunken coeds had an impact, do you?
During the Texas/OU weekend, there was a thread where a couple of the ladies were saying it was a slow weekend for them. That kind of surprised me because the Texas/OU game is a HUGE game for North Texas and it brings in MANY people.
I really think the overall economy has more to do with it then anything.
In years past, those that traveled to the Dallas area for a a big game (or event) would also spend a few extra dollars at high end restaurants, strip clubs, etc. Due to the crappy economy, I think everyone is thinking twice about how much they are spending (and what they are spending it on). Not to mention that the SO's are also keeping a closer eye on the family budget so that makes it harder (no pun intended, LOL) for the men with SO's to hobby.
Just my 2 cents worth.
