"Just to play devil's advocate, if the county builds a stadium for the local high school team, are citizen's entitled to free admission?"
Obviously you are missing the point, going to the stadium is the result of something being on show there, the "content". Therefore, it would not be free. What should be free (excluding maintenance costs which would need to be payed) is the usage of the stadium and actually it most likely is.
I know that in the UK I think there is a data liberation act or something similar, where you can request for data to be made available in public which was payed for with tax money. I think, however, that you shouldn't even need to ask.
If they don't want to publish the data, then don't pay for it with tax money...

Access typically is restricted during non-performance times when marginal costs approach zero, e.g. one cannot walk around the track after work or have a Saturday morning Frisbee toss on the field because the gates are locked.
- leot 15y agoNo, you are cherry picking by using as your example a stadium that isn't managed well. There is no moral justification for the government's charging more than the cost of duplication (which itself should only ever have to be paid once).
