I always wondered if anyone has done the math on this:

How many gallons of fuel does a band/sports team use to get from origin to destination? How much pollution does it create compared to a months extra fuel usage of all the hummers in the US? Is it OK to demean a persons legal choice of ride because of "excessive fuel use/pollution" when a single concert/game may use more fuel on takeoff than their choice uses in a year? Will some bored intelligent person please explain this with real numbers?

Lets assume:
49ers and Dolphins. Air travel to and from.
VS
20,000 Hummers traveling 12,000 miles per year @ 10 MPG over the average 20MPG commuter.

How many football games does it take to equal the ADDITIONAL fuel used by the hummers?
