You are?

I'm sure the cost of running Fed Hall increases as the number of people in there increases.
You are? I'm certainly not, and though I don't know who you are, I guess blindly I know more about Fed Hall's cost structure than you.
Also, your example
doesn't seem so convincing if you use numbers like "20 UW
students and 180 non-students".
Right. Essentially the threshold is that the number of UW students being serced should (on its own) justify the use of Fed Hall. That threshold is around 100 or 150 -- that's where there are no other available spaces. So yes, I chose those numbers to be reasonable. I believe the situation with ESA is something like 80-120 UW students vs. 100-300 others, at least from my previous dealings with them.
Let's
say I can get 1500 students to go to a playoff game using
our club funds and then I ask the FEDS to subsidize the
cost of the other 13,500 fans who are going to the same
game, maybe with a 25% discount off the regular ticket
price. Sound OK to you?
Well, sure, if Feds owned a hockey team that wasn't getting anyone watching it, and they let some people watch it free so UW students had more fun.

And, ironically, I don't see the connection between your subject and content. ha!
