In addition to the other posts, keep in mind that the venues will all have artificial lighting over the playing field and frequently the audience area is unlit or far away. For those reasons, no one can expect to communicate reliably to players on the field. In a two minute match, why would you break your concentration to look for a person in the stands and then to interpret what the signal might be. It just isn't practical.
