That's what she said!

Yours is so nice with all those empty seats!
Not to mention our gate receipts are just about equal. So it seems you've wasted a lot of money!
The way I look at it, $200 to build 1 bleacher. At $8 a game it would take 25 games (over 2 seasons) just to make the money back. That's why it's hard for me to put a lot of cash in my arena. I like to use my money elsewhere.

Let me know when they start handing out cash or trophies for big empty stadiums and I'll join you!

But when you promote you're giving away money. You need to have a big arena. Yea for D4 you your arena is good but once you promote you won't be making as much money as other people. So basically you won't be able to make it past d3 with that arena you realize that right?

I was d3 last season and I adjusted my ticket prices. I was above the league average in gate receipt. I was never losing money weekly. The first half of the season while I was winning, I was selling out or close every game.

Being able to change ticket prices every game now is a game changer!

You won't be able to get to D.II unless you drastically expand your arena. Don't have tiny arena syndrome.

My fans have a right to not fill the stands as I wasn't active for about 8 seasons and I highly doubt I ever had a winning record during those seasons. I'm not worried.

The least of my worries right now is d2. I've only spent 1 of my 8 seasons in d3! I'll continue to build a little at a time.

That's like the Nets worrying about being a bad matchup with the Warriors in the finals!

Well my goal is to make it to the NBBA so I made sure I finished my arena.

Well I think that is everyone's goal. Do I expect to be there after 3 seasons? No. I have plenty of time to build an arena. Realistically if I were to get to the NBBA it would take probably 7-10 seasons. You have had 21 seasons to build your arena. I have had 8. I can easily gradually build my stadium to be effective as I promote. No sense of building it all now and having a team that is not ready.

IV.53 Weekly 5 Hot Spot
1. 5 and 5
5 teams are undefeated, 5 teams are winless. Odd that after 3 games there are 10 teams that still have a 0 on their record. We will lose at least 2 of the 10 on Tuesday night with two winless and two undefeated teams going against each other.
2. Blowouts
Only 5 of the 16 games last week were within 20 points and none of those games were under 10 points! So far the games have been mostly boring. With so many inactive teams it makes for a lot of boring games. It also makes for a lot of high scoring! Every winning team last week scored 100 or more and we still have 8 players in this league who are averaging more than 25 points a game!
3. Early Season Smoke
It sometimes hard to tell who is real and who is fake at this point of the season. A lot has to do with match ups. My 2 examples are ExplosiveBubbleWrap and Defensive Powerhouses. Explosive is 1-2 but has played 2 undefeated teams, meanwhile Defensive is undefeated but has played 3 winless teams! Only time will tell which teams will rise to the top and which teams will fall off. On the red side, there are only 4 active teams so it should be easy to predict the playoff teams we will just have to wait and see what order they finish in.
4. Cup
Medley Agents (bot) lost last week, so we have 15 teams left! 13 of those teams catch DV bots again this week and should all get wins. Based heroes faces off against a DIV bot and should also be favored. While Team Takeover (bot) looks like their cup run will come to an end against an active DII team
5. Power Rankings
Air Ballas
WHAIGH
Edmonton Earthquakes
Defensive Powerhouses
Indiana Thunderstorm

Solid win. Guess you were right.

Good game lightning. Very interesting league so far.

lol I told you long time ago my team is fr. Don't let the salary fool ya buddy. Just won on -1 enthusiasm and Whaigh was at home. You had me at 6th in the power rankings at one point smh. I like how competitive this league is. It makes it more interesting and fun for me.
