NFL team owners voted Tuesday for San Francisco to be the official host of the 2016 Super Bowl. The event will be held at the San Francisco 49ers’ soon-to-be constructed $1.2 billion facility in Santa Clara. We look at the economic and social impacts the event will have on the Bay Area.

Guests:

Daniel Lurie, chairman of the Bay Area Super Bowl Bid Committee, and CEO and founder of Tipping Point Community, a nonprofit grant-making organization that fights poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area

Victor Matheson, professor of economics, specializing in sports economics, at College of the Holy Cross
