While that figure includes TV revenue, sponsorship, and other branding, what is the impact of match-day activity in the cities where the teams are located?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total potential tourist and local spending, including stadium food and drink, across the NHL Eastern Conference is an impressive $31,623,529.73 for each game day. With those kinds of revenues generated, it\u2019s not difficult to understand how the NHL helps the economy grow in its host cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the total of potential local and tourism trade on the local economy, one city stood out, and it\u2019s not where you might think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detroit came out on top for the highest overall local and tourist spending, with revenue figures of $3,371,509.50. Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, has the largest potential tourism spend on game days, with a potential revenue of $2,271,706.50. This is based on 75% of away ticket holders staying in a hotel, buying food and drinks locally, and eating food and drink in the stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that despite not winning the Stanley Cup since 2008, the Detroit Red Wings, with its long and proud history, is the most profitable NHL team in the US!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our analysis reveals that the New York Rangers rank as the second most profitable team, generating an impressive potential local and tourist revenue of $2,570,181.84. Following closely in third place are the Toronto Maple Leafs, with a potential revenue of $2,024,550 from local and tourist sources. Meanwhile, at the other end of the revenue table is Pennsylvania, the state that\u2019s home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, with a potential local and tourist spending of $1,367,165.39 on game days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Canadian Tire Centre stadium in Ottawa, Ontario, has the highest potential local spend, at $890,568.00. At the other end of the scale, Ohio in Columbus has a potential local spend of over $500,000 lower, at $363,741.84.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These figures show that even in cities towards the lower end of the r<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">evenue scale, NHL teams benefit the economy considerably.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when you\u2019re caught up in the excitement of game day, whether as a local fan or a visitor, you\u2019re also helping local businesses in the host city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1744 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1.webp\" alt=\"Overall Economic Impact of the NHL\" width=\"1511\" height=\"2184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1.webp 1511w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-208x300.webp 208w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-708x1024.webp 708w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-768x1110.webp 768w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-1063x1536.webp 1063w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-1417x2048.webp 1417w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-150x217.webp 150w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-696x1006.webp 696w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Overall-Economic-Impact-of-the-NHL-1-1068x1544.webp 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1511px) 100vw, 1511px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Potential Overall Impact by State<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Potential earnings on game days by state<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHL game days are exciting for more than just the host cities. The wider state can also prosper, with NHL revenues for hospitality businesses being a key component of the local economy. We examined the potential overall impact state by state and uncovered some interesting findings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to potential tourist and local spending across the state in hotels, restaurants, and bars generated by a single team, Michigan is at the top of our revenue list once again. Businesses in the state can expect to share around $3,371,509.50 around game days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detroit is also the NHL city with the highest hotel prices, with the average cost being around $387 per night! If you\u2019re looking for a more affordable away game trip, head to Ottawa, home of the Senators, where a hotel room for the night will only set you back around $109 on average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no surprises in second place, with hospitality businesses across New York State benefiting from Rangers games to the tune of $2,894,289.84. There\u2019s no shortage of local hotels when visiting New York for a game, with 124 within 2 kilometers of Madison Square Garden. The three teams in the states collectively generate $6,605,868.11 on game days, demonstrating the significant impact of sport on the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little further behind when it comes to revenue from a single club is the Canadian province of Ontario, home to the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs. Each game day sees businesses in the province potentially sharing $2,310,412.50. Taken together with the revenue generated in Ottawa, the figure for the province as a whole is $4,311,925.50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pittsburgh Penguins generate less than half of the Detroit Oilers, with around $1,367,165.39 spent on accommodation, food, and drink on game days across the state. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, a Flyers game can expect to bring in around $1,770,244.03, making a total of $3,137,409.42 across Pennsylvania as a whole. However, if you\u2019re looking for somewhere to stay when you visit Philadelphia, you need to book early, with just 3 hotels near the Wells Fargo Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1732 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Potential Overall Economic Impact by State\" width=\"1097\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-scaled.webp 1097w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-129x300.webp 129w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-439x1024.webp 439w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-768x1792.webp 768w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-658x1536.webp 658w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-878x2048.webp 878w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-150x350.webp 150w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-696x1624.webp 696w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Overall-Economic-Impact-by-State-1068x2492.webp 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1097px) 100vw, 1097px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Potential Food and Drink Revenue by Team<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>The overall revenue generated through food and drinks on game days across the state<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many fans consider beer and a hot dog a key part of the game day experience, but there\u2019s more to food and drink spending than these perennial stadium favorites. Fans visit local restaurants and bars, taking time to enjoy a little local hospitality as well as the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We examined how much fans spent across different states and the prices they could expect to pay for a drink and a meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s perhaps no surprise that New York State, with three teams and a vibrant year-round tourist economy, generated the most of any NHL hosting state, with $923,195.50 of potential food and drink spend. New York State is nearly $300,000 ahead of its nearest rival, the Canadian province of Ontario, whose two teams generate an impressive $652,654.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the other end of the scale, New Jersey Devils generate $206,425 in potential food and drink spending for their state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Pennsylvania has been towards the bottom of our tables, it more than makes up for it when it comes to food and drink. The two teams in the state bring in around $483.896 for food and drink businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re a local fan or you&#8217;re traveling to an away game, the price you will pay for food and drink can vary considerably. In New York City, you can expect to pay around $39 for a meal and drink, whereas across the state in Buffalo, that figure drops to $25. In Montreal and Toronto, your money will go just a little further than in New York, with a bill of around $34.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1750 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3.webp\" alt=\"Potential Food and Drink Revenue by Team\" width=\"1740\" height=\"2518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3.webp 1740w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-207x300.webp 207w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-708x1024.webp 708w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-768x1111.webp 768w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-1061x1536.webp 1061w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-1415x2048.webp 1415w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-150x217.webp 150w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-696x1007.webp 696w, https:\/\/playstar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Potential-Food-and-Drink-Revenue-by-Team-3-1068x1546.webp 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1740px) 100vw, 1740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Potential Game Day Spend U.S.<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>The total revenue generated on game day within the American states.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a look at the figures after excluding Canadian teams highlights the significant difference in rankings between the two countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our top place belongs to the New York Rangers who could potentially be bringing in $5,796,028 on game days for New York State if their stadium is maxed out.
