Just wanted some arena advice:

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/23664/arena.aspx

This is my second full season playing BB after a long hiatus, after an initial splurge I have mostly been spending money on slowly upgrading my arena - currently I'm looking to sell a few players and generate more funds but I have about $300,000 already that I'd like to spend on arena improvements... Any advice on what type of seats should I focus on building?

My current arena (goal # - in parenthesis) can be seen below:

Bleachers: 5,275 (6,000)
Lower Tier: 1,000 (1,000)
Courtside Seats: 400 (500)
Luxury Boxes: 10 (10)

But I'm willing to depart from that...

Do you have any advice for a long term arena goal? I don't really know what a good d4 team would cap at!

Think about it this way: bleachers are the most variable seat class. They will swing wildly depending on whether you won the previous game or not. Lower Tier are also variable but much less.

At any rate you while expanding you should think which seat will get repaid faster (keep in mind that when you consider the Bleacher number you need to consider Bleachers+LT+courtside+boxes and similarly when evaluating LT you need LT+courtside+boxes). Normally the seats which get repaid faster are the ones you can sell out at a price close to the maximum.

Some people will tell you to build boxes and courtside first, but in reality bleachers are often the seat which gets repaid faster.

For you it would be:
$200/$10 for bleachers (you can sell at least 6435 seats at this price)
$700/$28 for LT (1185)
$2000/$64 for courtside (370)
$16000/$680 for boxes (10)
Clearly you may have to lower your prices in order to keep filling the arena, however given $100 of new seats everything should stay roughly proportional
