Impact analysis
About $600,000 a year in losses, partly driven by one-time equipment replacements and temporary staffing.
Tournament visitors, local sports groups, seniors walking the dome, and businesses that capture visitor spending.
Private gyms and the YMCA say the cheap city memberships are pulling away some of their members.
