The booming popularity of Formula 1 is incalculable. The fans, especially in America, have taken to the sport and showered it with unfathomable love. This love also translates to revenue and the owners, Liberty Media, have put an estimate on the incalculable popularity. The American owners have made massive investments for the upcoming Las Vegas GP. The Vegas GP might most likely dethrone the NFL Super Bowl as the most popular event of the year, especially with Tom Brady out of the picture.

Tom Brady, the 45-year GOAT of the NFL, decided to retire for the second time after only his third season with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady’s decision coming early in 2023 puts an end to an illustrious 23-year-long career. The seven-time Super Bowl champion’s retirement will definitely have repercussions on NFL as a whole. Additionally, we might see those repercussions as early as 2024.

Reporter Vincenzo Landino revealed Liberty Media’s extravagant Las Vegas GP plans via a video on his Instagram. In the video, Landino revealed some known facts like the $240 million investment for 39 acres of land. However, he also told the startling financial repercussions of this massive investment.

The owners, who are promoting the event themselves,  are planning to build a 300,000-square-foot four-story paddock. The area will feature the start-finish line, driver pits, ultra VIP spectator zones, and a rooftop terrace. Moreover, according to applied analysis, the Vegas GP might generate $1.3 billion for the city of Vegas. The 2024 Super Bowl might generate $650 million, almost half of the Vegas GP.

Such an incredible economic impact has also made the city vote for the Grand Prix to be a regular fixture for the next 10 years. It is hard to imagine Vegas not becoming the epicenter of F1 in the future. Additionally, the offerings of the weekend will also make Vegas steal the title of “Crown jewel of  F1”.
