Last month, an economic impact report studying the 2024 season at Forest Hills Stadium found that the venue generated $42.5 million in economic activity for Forest Hills, New York City and New York State.
The report, funded by Forest Hills Stadium and conducted by Perch Advisors, examined the 34 concerts and four non-concert events that took place throughout 2024 and described the venue as a “vital economic engine” for Queens.
The 2024 season saw almost $6.8 million in direct expenditures to local vendors and suppliers, including food and beverage providers, equipment rental companies, security firms, sanitation services and professional services, according to the report.
The study found that Forest Hills Stadium directly supported over 1,100 jobs for New York City residents during the 2024 season, with a particular emphasis on local hiring. Of all seasonal staff hired in 2024, 47% are Queens residents, while 16% reside directly in Forest Hills.
Forest Hills Stadium provided $6.5 million in direct wages to support jobs at the venue during the 2024 season.
