idea for a new N64 game. Alabama vs the World

I've been told that Coach Moore wants to keep the A Day free for the fans and for their families. A lot of Alabama fans have many kids and doesn't have the money to take the whole family to games. So A Day is free so the whole family can come to a game.
Giving back to the fans.

Other schools charge like 5 dollars! Do you really think that will change things much? The City of Tuscaloosa should donate 5 dollars a head to UA.. for having the Aday free. Economic impact way more than 5 dollars a head.

Usually 5-20 and multiply by 100k, thats $500k - $2 million. Seems like plenty to cover cost for a game that's doesn't need nearly the infrastructure of a normal game
It does matter when you have a larger local population that rarely gets to go to a game. They usually just get to see the out of towners come in and they sit outside.

atleast 50k out of town people attend A-day.
50k people buy gas, food, lodging. Its a huge money maker for Tuscaloosa.. Not quite a home game.. Not far off though.
Free admission.. But most of the 100k will buy concessions, programs etc.. UA is getting their money too..
No reason to charge admission.

Making A-day free is a great idea b/c most of the money they dont make in ticket sales, they'll make in t-shirt/ merchandise sales. Not many people show up to a stadium not wearing some type of team gear. (not in the south anyway) Plus the extra exposure is priceless. Anytime you can get an average person into a stadium for a "game experience" that person is very likely to come away an even bigger fan. Its like a free sample at the grocery store.
Considering the points raised in favor of free A-day, I cant understand why any team would charge money.
