Fox 29s brad sattin is live in center city. Brad, theres some money to be made. Reporter dawn there is money to be paid. Hotels, bars and restaurants expected to very well but tonight we have the inside scoop on who is expected to much better. Philadelphia just about ready to host an nfl draft. And the Temple University professor who analyzed the Economic Impacts of the last two drafts says, its probably worth about 80 million to the city. One of the reasons cities host these events is they want to attract not locals into the community that come and stay in your hotels, east in your restaurants, shop in your stor stores. That influx of new money into your community is what drives economic impact. Reporter expect hotels and restaurants to be jam pack. 80 millions bucks for three day event. Who can beat that . We can think of a few people. Which would you rather have . The salaris of the first three players picked or all of the money coming into the city all the money coming into the city. I would say the money coming into the city. Reporter youd think but it turns out the first few players walking across the stayed stage here next week will likely make more combined than the city will. Last years first three draft picks jared goff, Eagles Carson wentz and joey bosa add the value of their contracts together and its worth just over 80 million bucks. Theres good money for a city hosting a draft. And maybe no surprise even better money for those drafted. Its expected. Its crazy. I wish i was an athlete. Reporter yes, that makes two of us much the cost to actual put on this event is about 25 million. Most of that, however, will be paid for by the nfl. Draft is a pretty good deal for a city. A much better deal is a super bowl where a city as far as Economic Development goes, dawn, could bring in upwards of half a billion dollars. Not a bad pay day.

One victim says he paid 600 for new tires right before it happen. I work a second job so i can have the extra good things and you got people that come behind you and just do crazy things like this and that would be my question, what would possess you to do Something Like that . Police want to know the same thing. Workers at both Companies Say the same thing happened at least three other times. Police are trying to figure out who is behind the most recent attacks.
