I just did some heavy research and checked all the Arenas in Utopia which are bigger than mine (i am at #23).
I compared the amount of investment (current expansions included).
My information might be allready inaccurate because there are constant expansions all over the place.

But one thing is certain (and shocked me): there are allready at least 8 Areans worth more than 2 million.


PS.: If you are over 1,7 million you are in the top 20.

I'm curious about total ticket sales for these monster Utopian arenas. How quickly will they make their money back from this investment?

At a certain point, it becomes more prudent to win games, which would sell more tickets at higher prices. Or even to promote where the return of your investment would be even greater, than it would be to keep expanding.

Also curious if any of the Top 20 are in D.III?

No there are just 2 Arenas over 1,4 Million (but i can't remember those numbers exactly).
In their last homegames the Top 20 averaged $ 79424,55. So their income is pretty bad. (At least compared to mine)

I'm almost even. I invested 1.2 mio in the arena and have already earned 1 mio. with the ticket sales. Currently I'm not sure what to build next. My biggest concern is that I'm under the salary floor and the 16 weeks are almost over. So before building some new seats I have to buy 1-2 new players.


I'm in mostly the same situation, except I held off on investing an extra week or so recently because I had already overbuilt my current pricing, so my total investment is now 1.176M. Luckily I'm still over the salary floor, and thanks to an unexpected rivalry/TV win on the road the other day, I may pull in even more than expected. The goal is just to keep making the playoffs, keep building non-bleachers, and then see how things go.

Your goal doesn't including training long term players? A little confused why you wouldn't.

Well, that's not part of the goal with regard to the arena (though I half think I may aim to have more lower tiers than bleachers at some point just because that would give immense giggles).

As far as training goals, I suppose it comes down to how we're going to define long-term players.

Players that could be on your roster for 10+ seasons and help carry you through to D1?

That would be amazing. A pity that season ticket holders for D1 tops out at just over 4,000. This guy in USA D1 has the most I've ever seen. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/23816/arena.aspx)
