Considering the amount of times that comments get throw around regarding the Tasmanian sponsorship, this report needed its own thread rather than getting hidden in another thread.
“The Hawthorn Football Club contributed $28.5 million to the Tasmanian economy during the 2017 footy season, according to a new report.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers report also found the Hawks’ four home games at Launceston’s UTAS Stadium, and one JLT Community Series game, attracted 61,301 fans.
Of those, one in every four fans was from interstate or overseas, with the majority staying for at least one night.
Premier Will Hodgman said the report confirmed Tasmania’s partnership with the Hawks went much further than just “game-day excitement in Lonnie”.
“The economic impact amounts to a return on investment of about $7.50 for every $1 we put into the deal,” he said.
“Attendance is up and fans are spending more, with an additional injection of $19.8 million into the local economy.”
