The kids that attend games have been conditioned to do so. School graduations happen in the field because it’s there already.

"Don't subsidize X because only a small percentage of people use it."

"Actually, a fairly large percentage of people use it."

"Those people don't count because they've been conditioned to use it."

>it's there already

Doesn't change the fact that you'd need to pay for some alternative venue if it wasn't there.
