Why change what has been a Great set-up ?

The "Great set-up is NOT changed.
I think that people often make mountains out of molehills. Sometimes we are pressured to use the view of the few rather than the opinion of the majority because of current new standards often forced on us by Television commentators and the printed page.
Even if there were only 3000 folks there, only fifty CHOSE (were not forced) to buy tickets for drinks and snacks. Most people don't even buy drinks at the drink stands when they go. They get up from dinner with the grandkids and stay for the festivity and go home to have cookies at the grandparents. It probably isn't a HUGE money maker for the private entertainment company that runs it or the merchants on the square that fund it with a small stipend from the Florida tourist tax.
