Abstract
 
The aim of this study was to examine the economic position of stadiums and professional sport teams on index of income of those people in related jobs. This study was application in terms of the goal and the method was description-library-analysis. Statistical population consisted of all employees in related jobs in 8 big cities in Iran that had a football team in premier league in 2010-2012. Statistical sample was equal to available statistical population and total collected data were 1037 cases. In order to collect data, the questionnaire of household expenditure-income plan of the Statistical Center of Iran was used. Also, the researchers visited federation, league organization, conducted library research and collected the number of stadiums, the number of played games, having/not having a team and stadium capacity. In data analysis, panel data was used to estimate the econometric model. To reach the optimum model, F test, Hausman test and Breusch-Pagan test were applied using Eviews. The obtained results showed that professional teams and stadiums in cities did not have any positive and significant effects on income. The results also showed that the public urban budgets should not be used to construct stadiums and/or teams should not attend the cities with the aim of creating economic benefits there.
