Super Bowl's Arizona host may be on the hook for millions

Super Bowl host cities can see a major economic boost when the NFL comes to town.

But the mayor of Glendale, Arizona - home to Super Bowl XLIX - is questioning the money-making potential of this year's big game, CBS News' David Begnaud reports.

"I think if you looked in the till at the end of the day, I think you'll have less money in it than came in," said Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers.

Weiers suspects that when the sun sets on Super Bowl XLIX, the only real loser may be his city.

"I'm sure that we're going to spend $3 million," Weiers said. "I would hope, in tax revenues, that we can actually account for well over a million, probably 1.2, 3."

Roughly, that would be a $2 million loss, and he's basing his projection on history. When Glendale hosted the Super Bowl in 2008, the city estimates it lost $1.6 million.

"We brought in less money than we spent, just bottom line," Weiers said.
