I think the implicit gate income increase from D3 to D2 (for a large arena) is substantially more than 30k. It is more like 120k-150k. Clearly Utopia D2 teams have much smaller arenas than your usual D2 therefore that increase is scaled down. The 500k promotion bonus should have given you an extra 30k running from the arena all things being equal though.


If this were correct then everybody with their small arenas should be selling out, but it's not even close.

Perhaps in an effort to make it to Div 2, many teams have taken the fast track strategy which involves investing in aging geriatrics rather than their arenas and the training of youngsters.

Im hopeful of breaking the 200K gate barrier in Div III before the end of the season and after one more purchase may yet be able to compete with some of the Div 2 teams when it comes to the cup

Have tried to manage all 3
Aging vets, train 3 guys at least every week
tried to keep up on thr arena as well
was just hoping for a little more money

The comparison earlier on and saying their close is not really so
Even $17K more in tv and $9K for merchandise would be a big help

I think those hoping to be first ever Heaven residents would be ok just breaking even

Much of the problems may also be because there is no history to the league but as long as everyone is in the same boat, it shouldn't make any difference. The whole point of Utopia, to which I have warmed, is that you compete on an equal basis.
