"FIFA's early predictions estimated that the month-long soccer competition would yield more than $3 billion worth of economic activity in the New York City area."
"Comptroller Mark Levine shows the World Cup is expected to boost tax revenue by $55 million, a number his office expects to be offset by an additional $70 million in spending on security and safety costs."
