Have you ever gone anywhere with kids? If you can't bring food with you, it's not optional.
Do you enjoy drinking beer? Probably 90%+ of adults who go to a baseball game would like to enjoy some drinks during a 4 hour game with so much downtime.
So this argument of "but it's optional!" is pretty dumb. That's like going to a movie theatre and saying "well, popcorn and soda/drinks are optional!! look how cheap it is!". I mean, sure, but it's also a ridiculous argument for nearly everyone. Again, especially if one has kids.
