The 2023 Cactus League season generated $418.5 million for Arizona’s Gross Domestic Product, and $710.2 million in Total Economic Impact. A windfall for the state’s tourism economy as it emerged from the pandemic, the big numbers were announced during a press conference at Tempe’s diablostadium on Friday. “While Cactus League games may not count, their economic impact certainly does,” Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs said of the results, which were determined through a study by the Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University’s wpcareyschool. #sportsbiz #cactusleague #springtraining #economicimpact #gdp #arizona #tourism (📸 domcontini)
