It will have Zero affect on kids, they will cheer for whatever team they want (whether it is their hometown or not). They will play the sport they want to play.

FTR, I want a new sports complex, as I realize the additional benefits of the arena (and sports team). But, it needs to be a regular destination for everyone (not just during events). As in, get some restaurants (family friendly), some cheap entertainment (like buskers/street performers/etc), make it a fun place to visit, as well as hosting the event.
