$392 in the next 10 years. How much money does a Superbowl bring in to the city?

The estimate is about $150M is made by the host city of the Super Bowl.

NO has had 2 in the last 10 years and 4 in 20.... 10 total. Then there is the NFC Championship of 2009 any other playoff games and 8 regular season games a year.

The State and Benson make money off of the Saints investment.
