The same analysis found that investing in Doak Campbell Stadium would likely mean more than $102 million in overall economic impact, stemming from home football games and other in-stadium events, such as concerts. Leon County Commissioner Jimbo Jackson said his decision to support the measure boiled down to economic impact: More than 250 jobs and $50 million in spending annually is connected to the stadium.
