I heard you the first time and it's still bullshit (unfortunately) the second time around. It's one quarter now? Keep going.
I would never make a claim of a percentage of people that would go to a football game. As long as 25k go every week I'd be happy and wouldn't care of they were the same 25k every week or not. Of course that doesn't help build a franchise.
