2:07Now PlayingDid Atlanta get its return on investment in hosting the World Cup? Mayor Andre Dickens says yes. The city estimated total event costs at $52 million, with FIFA and the federal government covering that number in promised reimbursements.
Dickens says the city will likely come out on the positive side thanks to sales taxes, hotel, motel and rental car tax revenue.
"We won't see a City of Atlanta general fund hit that is going to cost us money," Dickens said.
