On the eve of the Yankees’ 2025 home opener, Mayor Eric Adams announced that this year’s Yankees and Mets home games are projected to generate $909 million in economic impact for New York City.
The recent success of New York City sports teams has been a boon to the local economy and a major driver of tourism. Last year, the Yankees, Mets, and WNBA Liberty all made their respective playoffs, and those home games alone generated nearly $200 million in economic activity, according to Adams’ office.
