With what is charged for food and drink, easily the 4000.
If they were smart theyd find somewhere in between free and whtever it is these days though.
Making admission free (or significantly reducing it) would be a really bold/drastic move. But when you think about it, people would be much more inclined to spend $20-$30 at the canteen/bar without first having to shell out $30 to get a family of 4 into the gates.
Lets face it, there would be a percentage of families that are probably there in the first place because they cant afford AFL Season tickets, so make it affordable to not only watch the game but be fed and watered as well and it may attract more.
Drastic times require drastic measures.
