Was the increase in starting arena capacity mentioned at any point last season? I am just wondering if I missed something. It's kind of a bummer to have spent ~$685,000 on arena upgrades last season when those upgrades would have just been implemented for free after this season's all star break.

I had two thoughts when I saw that change announcement.

One was the same as yours.

The other is that this change is another increase of the money in the game, and we all know we need less, not more. So while this is a nice change for new managers, there needs to be some corresponding drain of money from the game or this change is going to wind up being bad for the game.

Well in that case, why give them bigger arenas anyways?

We should make the new teams start without the $300k and the 4*50k$ they get to compensate.
All that would do would be to seal the fate of this game a little sooner.

Who will be affected by increasing arenas?

If everyone, what happens to players who're on seating limit capacities?

You get 2 Luxury Boxes for free, if you have 0 after Allstar break. If you already have 2 or more, you get nothing.
Same with other categories.

They could have refunded the money of the seats for managers who signed up last season or added the extra seats for free. I wouldn't feel that great if I was one of those who missed out just because I signed up a few days too early.

You can make the case that those who spent the money 2 seasons ago have already got their money back so I'd leave it at 1 season.

All my money since October last year was invested in arena... While my results suffered.

+1 for refund.

Since it would have been better to give some warning in advance, I'd certainly agree a refund is fair.
