I think a 4600 - 5000 - 500 - XX arena would probably be horribly inefficient but it might be fun enough to do that I'll go for it. It's certainly exceptionally cheap to pile on bleachers after I reach that point if I decide to. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting data point.


Absolutely. I'm guessing D2 would be the breaking point for the bleachers? You'd probably sell out every time at $20.

It's just different for me this time since I'm doing so much 1v1 to start with rather than buttloads of pressure, but I figured I'd try to do *something* different. []


Whatever works. I'm torn between trying random weird training now, in D4, where it'd be easier to win while doing it...or just trying to make my team better as quickly as possible.

I spent 1.245 million on mine.
Won a single game last season. Moved from 1200 ranked to 800s now.
Can not look too much at average attendance. Will work its self out in a few seasons. Those who spent all their cash to promote will find they can't build a arena big enough in some cases. Be interesting to see how it all works out long term.

I am not so sure. The teams who play decent in Div III. get a lot of of money. Ofc the salary might be high though.
I guess both promoting and tanking could be valid tactics longterm.

I'm sitting nicely at the moment.

Yes i bought players last season to promote, and this season in DIV 3, i am still in the cup, sitting 1st in my conference and in 1 day my arena will have 6097 seats.

Im hoping to have around 7500-8000 in my arena by seasons end.

so it can be done.

Teams who trade players and earn money that way (not just selling their draft) have no real place in my research.
So your team isn't really an example that "it" can be done.
This strategy requires endurance and luck but no really franchise leading skills, as there is (most likely not your case) cheating potential.
Getting a full crowd without spending too much money is the real deal. (my2cents)

After three home games my team is the most popular ;) Until now I'm the only one in my league who had at least 90k.

Money Maker (most arena revenue):
97.220 - Black Forest Boars -3
91.502 - Black Forest Boars -1
90.830 - Black Forest Boars -5 (TV Game)
88.850 - Red Sharks -5
88.155 - Scarlet Fever -3
87.420 - Clear Planet -1
87.320 - Clear Planet -5
85.245 - Red Sharks -4
83.900 - Red Sharks -2
83.829 - French Fries Salty -1 (TV Game)


Nice indeed. I had my third 90k game for my last home game with my new high mark of 98600. Unfortunately I lost a close game today and I'm lowering prices going into interconference play (so I can build more seats) so I'll probably have a dip into the 80s for a while I imagine, especially after your leaguemate and my old USA leaguemate Scarlet Fever knocks me out of the tourney.

Your prices are ridiculously low for D.III. Even if you add a ton more seats, you should still raise the ticket prices.

That's pretty good revenue despite losing the past 2 games. Just checked out your roster, looks like you'll need to buy guys to hit the salary floor (whenever that kicks in). Should also let you win more games and raise ticket prices.
