EA could incorporate that into the game so that pressing a particular button would give details on the song (artist, album, year) to help someone who wishes to purchase. .

Actually, an arena will pay a royalty to the ASCAP just like a restaurant or bar would for public performance and playback of songs. And it isn't cheap. That licensing doesn't really apply for a game, because it would be distribution, which is an RIAA thing.

Although, I agree a soundpack for a team would be some nice DLC to get, if they price was right.
