In Utopia, I'm playing against a brand new team. (it's their first ever game tonight). But I noticed that their arena has over 900 more bleacher seats than my arena does! The news item from a couple seasons ago stated that changes to starting arena size wouldn't apply to Utopia teams: "all BB teams (excluding Utopia)"

So, just wondering what's going on. It's hard to believe that BB intended this. For example.... Jane Doe buys a Utopia team for $10 in week 7 of season 33. Less than 2 weeks later John McPatriarchy buys a team, and is given a significantly larger arena. That seems completely unfair to Jane, & pretty out of character for BuzzerBeater. (at least IMO).

A team in my league recently signed up and has the 6k arena too (which I suppose isn't a surprise, as this issue probably affects all Utopia teams created from a certain date...)

Thanks for reporting this. I've now fixed the underlying issue and all the arenas that have been created with wrong numbers.

I just lost over 1,000 seats and I have had my teams for months. I had no idea there was a problem and have an economic strategy just blown up......... This is occurring just days before I have to start paying my league minimum for salaries too.


Wonderful.....thanks......

Well on the bright side, you've already been given months of extra revenue that other teams didn't get. So you're still coming out ahead. And as of now your combined player salaries are under $25k. So it's not like this puts you in the over-extension tax or anything. BTW, at your ultra-low prices 938 extra bleacher seats would only give you an extra $6.5k per week anyway.

But if you're still upset... maybe make a suggestion in the suggestions forum that Marin upgrade every Utopia team's arena (old, new, & future teams) to 6000 seats? Or something like that.
