You let this be active for, say, 90-120 minutes both before and after the game (perhaps even longer after, to boost business for bars near the arena).
A number of cities do this successfully. Those driving from out of town can park at the perimeter, and those in town have less incentive to drive.
Why would you make transit free precisely when it is under the greatest demand?
If transit is to be free, it should start with late nights and mid day (and none of this “for seniors” nonsense, which I’m increasingly finding hard to believe can be “demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”).
