Most state laws make it illegal to lock exit doors if the building is occupied. The door does not have to allow people to come in through them, only to exit through through them.
Even if there are "excess" doors available (e.g., 10 doors for 2,000 people and only 50 people inside, which could easily fit through one or two doors), ALL required fire doors must be properly illuminated, signed and operable regardless of how many people happen to be inside. In theory, a fire or other emergency could start in any part of the structure and every fire exit must be available for use by any untrained person inside. Trained personnel on a night shift, for instance, may allow all but two doors to be locked (or shuttered), because the training includes instructions on where the two open exits are.
