Well that sucks.

We were not ready to promote, so I wasn't too unhappy at losing in the playoffs. Now it's back to getting my ass beat and losing the fanbase I built over the past season.

I have played this game over 10 years and did something yesterday that I have never done before

We sold out all 6000 Lower Tier seats

I can't remember how many years ago when I fully built out the stadium. I just remember that I had read the optimal size was 20550. The big decision was the balance of bleacher-lower tier seats. I figured that once I made the NBBA, having a lot of lower tier seats would be a big advantage.

It has turned out to be a huge strategic mistake. Never even sniffed D2, much less D1.

I never thought I'd see it. Probably never happen again. But it was sweet to see it once.

Congrats! Here's to selling out the section all season. Sounds like many of us could use the dough!
Good luck to all, welcome new teams, S73 is officially rolling.

No idea. I was in D4 last season, so it's all gravy to me

But perhaps lousy teams like mine are bringing the ratings down

At the start of the season, we had the lowest payroll in the division

I did something I don't like to do - spent some money and bought some players. That moved the team up to 7th in payroll

I'm not sure how it happened, but we're 7--0 the fans are loving it. As opposed to my Utopia team where the fans stay away in droves if I raise ticket prices by $1

I don't expect it will continue like this, but at least it isn't the wipeout I thought it would be.

Wow. You've been around a lot longer than me

You could stand to add 3000 more seats to the arena. But if you don't have the money, it's a problem

It sucks to blow it up and start over, nut I have done it more than once. I learn something each time. But it's always hard to give advice because you never really know what's going wrong with a team.

Right now, I'm running a small deficit each week, but I have a million in cash so it's no problem. My Utopia team is a different story. Sucks when you finally build a team you like and can't afford it.
