This is a good point. Marching bands are so large, you could see half the parents in attendance and know that they are there for their child in the band. Or they could have one in football, one in band, or one in cheerleading. Etc.
Now ask yourself why all those groups are at the football game instead of the soccer game (or any other sport for that matter).
Because football is more hype than sport
4hr game with 15 minutes actual action
In an average NFL football game, there are only about 11 to 18 minutes of actual, live playing time, despite the broadcast lasting over three hours, with most time spent on commercials, timeouts, and strategy huddles. Studies show that less than 10% of the total game duration involves the ball being in play, with action often lasting just a few seconds before stopping for breaks or replays
And yet it dwarfs non youth soccer in popularity and particularly in revenue Why is that? Honest question.
Low IQ and big money marketing đź’° is a great combination for those enriching themselves
lol - we already had this talk a few pages back - it's not just low IQ people watching football. Keep believing that and stay in your sportsball bubble
Not all low iq people watching
The event doesn't require high iq to engage an audience because of all the extra curricular bells, whistles and shiny objects that makes up for the limited action on the field
They do that for you low IQ watchers. And on that will leave you to your miserable self. Bye
The truth may offend but it's not a sin
What's low iq here is you assuming the PP hates or doesn't watch football because they point out the realities

Because
1 all marching band competitions are held in fall
2. Because cheerleading has 2 seasons, traditionally only available for football and basketball. Please do not say you want to add them to the soccer sideline. If there is year round cheer, it is focused on competition/routines. Or they’re working with personal trainers on tumble.
3. Marching band and football go well because of 30m halftimes. Do not add this to soccer
Anything I missed?
Yes, football is far more popular with the entire student body/fans and people will actually pay to attend. You might not like why that's the case in America, but it is.

Soccer is 90+ minutes of a few of shots and 3-4 goals. Find a better equivalencey. You start out with your bias and support it with a couple of untrue “facts”. But guess you feel data driven right?
Start over
Whatever point you're trying to make didn't convey

You understand soccer is in the fall in alot of places. And you know cheer could be it's own sport all of this time and we could stop the nonsense at other sports all together.
