I missed this article back in April when it was posted, but it does a good job of explaining the economic impact to the Astros specifically.

According to Forbes' valuations, the Astros were worth $1.85 billion in 2019. The $420 million total revenue they generated was sixth highest among the 30 teams. Of that number, $180 million came from gate receipts.
Savings on player salaries will somewhat mitigate the massive gate loss. The Astros' opening day payroll, according to Spotrac, was slated to be the highest in franchise history $206,783,333.
