Just because the average person infects 2-3, doesn't mean everyone will infect 2-3, regardless of context.
Am I wrong?

There's everything else that goes into match day that needs to be considered. When I go to a game I travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. The train is always full to the brim by the time it arrives in Glasgow. Then it's off to the pub for a couple of pints. Again the boozer is usually bursting at the seems. At the ground I've got to queue to get in, share toilet facilities with thousands then queue at half time for a pie. Pretty much the same on the way home. All in I've probably been within a metre of hundreds of people within 6 hours. If I was infected coughing and sneezing my way through the day how many people could I realistically infect? Certainly more than a couple.
