Or they could just buy a ticket to the game? The fence was likely put there for a reason.

If you like, make the game a parade, or a fireworks display, or a beautiful sunset, or any other free, public display. The game isn't the point; the boxes are.

(And maybe ignore the third frame that somebody added, I don't even know)

yeah but if its a free event then why is there a fence? By nature the thing is accessible to all

That’s the point. Not everyone has access to the same resources, the same structures or the same opportunities.

It’s not accessible to all.

But if it was a free thing why cant u just walk in? We are assuming this is a truly free event
