The countdown to the 2025 NHL Stadium Series is underway, and financial experts are already counting up the possible dollars.
Columbus Sports Commission estimated the city will see a $20 million boost in direct visitor spending as a result of the game in Columbus on March 1, 2025. This matchup features the Columbus Blue Jackets and Detroit Red Wings playing inside Ohio Stadium, a first for the stadium + Jackets.
With that figure in mind, we asked ourselves: What does $20 million look like in Columbus? Here’s a rough idea:
- At an average ticket price of $158 (according to SeatGeek), you could purchase a single ticket to 126,582 Columbus Blue Jackets games.
- A meter nonpayment ticket is $30, meaning you could rack up 666,000+ parking tickets before running out of cash.
- You could buy 7.1+ million buckeye-flavored donuts from Buckeye Donuts.
