Um, right back at you again, if you read his backstory, he does not care for Blitzball. No reason to go sit somewhere where he does not wish to be. XD

Him being at the stadium would make no sense.

OK, him not being in the stadium fine. Him being in the Village? Makes more sense than running away from the plot
