This is basically what we've morphed the topic into - are new baseball stadiums beneficial to the cities they are in? The answer, based on all the research available, is basically, no. They're not necessarily harmful, but they are not beneficial.
I'm stuck right now at what graphs I should include. I am including a bar graph of recently built stadiums and the money the public spent to build it compared to the money the team spent itself. I am also going to do a line graph comparing team revenue in the years prior to a new stadium, and the years immediately following the construction of a new stadium. We are also taking a small survey of people (that, really, provides essentially meaningless information if this was a serious study, but since a survey is required, we have to fudge up something) and will likely construct pie graphs or something from those.
Beyond those, I'm at a loss of what other sorts of graphs to include. I'm hoping that those graphs, plus two overhead pictures of Chicago's two stadiums that I found in an interesting case study of the Chicago stadiums, will take up enough space that we can fill the rest of the 10 pages with writing, but if anybody has any other possibilities, please throw them out.
