Abstract
This thesis looks to examine whether or not Ole Miss Football games have a significant impact on the City of Oxford. Since the topic of economic impact analysis concerning sports is so vast, containing thousands of elements, this study highlights only six weekends from the fall of 2012, three of which were home football weekends. The purpose of the particular study was to examine the economic activity and spending behavior during football weekends and compare them to non-football weekends to determine significant differences, if any. A portion of this thesis contains a review of previous economic Impact analyses. The proper methods and principles of research used for my project are attributable to these particular works, establishing a framework on which this thesis is built.
