Hosting a major sporting event in a city or country can greatly increase the the respective location’s surrounding commerce. Glendale, AZ is the host of this year’s Super Bowl, and its surrounding economies (including Phoenix, Scottsdale, etc.) are already feeling the bump in their economy. Everything from hotel’s and restaurants to transportation and entertainment are going to feel the increase in their local commerce centers. On the other side of the globe there is another major sporting event in the Australian Open, taking place in Melbourne. This city down under will no doubt be basking in the warmth of an economic boost.
