Yes I know that and its the same point I'm making.
If you can get the same TV audience for a Thursday night game at Geelong with say 17k fans compared to 20k at the G, but get 20k fans at the G compared to 10-15k GMHBA stadium on a weekend, why wouldn't you?
You would have an additional 5-10k paying fans (either paying for tickets or for food / beverage / merch / footy records, why would you not want that if you get the same TV audience either way? Overall, its increased revenue regardless.
I see now, I think the issue with your argument is getting the same TV audience.
