A German second division club is also doing this.
You could do it philanthropically; the business model has changed.
“The club began what amounts to a live-action experiment examining some of the most profound issues affecting sports in the digital age: the relationship between cost and value; the connection between fans and their local teams; and, most important, what it is to attend an event at a time when sports are just another arm of the entertainment industry.”

Paris F.C. Set Tickets To $0. Should Others Do the Same?
When Paris F.C. made its tickets free, it began an experiment into the connection between fans and teams, and posed a question about the value of big crowds to televised sports.

The local 10K run in #PortAlberni is growing steadily. Just under 500 people finished the race yesterday. 🏃‍♂️ 🏃
I've never been a runner so I didn't participate but maybe I'll volunteer next year.
Useless fact: The square bit on the map was part of a paper route I had for a summer. That portion is about 8km. My route was also about 10k and a big reason I got i…

Google Maps emailed me with early access to its automated venue suggestions (branded ‘AI’).
So I asked for wheelchair accessible restaurants within a mile.
It offered four options with the nearest ~3 miles away, the fourth ~18 miles away. I know at least one of them is wrong about wheelchair access. Each is a regional / national chain.
While Google Maps supposedly tracks wheelchair access as reported by users, it seemed to go off user reviews. And it did so poor…

I ask: “find me a wheelchair accessible restaurant within 1 mile.” Google Maps response: “Buffalo, New York has many wheelchair accessible restaurants within a mile, including diners, sports bars, and other restaurants.” Google Maps offers Denny’s, and quotes this from a review: “Handicap and wheelchair accessible?”
Next Google Maps suggestion: Tully’s Good Times Amherst, with this review quote: ”If you need a high chair or a handicap accessible table ask for a low table.”
Final two suggestions: Tully's Good Times Main & Transit Rd and Milestones. The quoted reviews do not mention wheelchairs.
