Overall, I think this was a very clever way to deal with an arena problem that was getting out of control. Nobody loses out either, and those that invested in stadiums that will soon be too big have a nice savings account to dip into.



It seems like another way to separate the little guy from the big guy

From the front page-
Starting at the all star break this year, every league will be negotiating its TV contract independently, and leagues in larger divisions or with more superstars will be able to make deals with larger TV networks, making it possible for more people to follow their team from the comfort of their home


Does larger mean higher? Like division I? If so this seems to help create more separation between divisions. It would be hard enough to promote to the top as it is, but now we feed more cash to the top managers in the higher divisions.

I also dont understand the fascination with incentive for teams that play players from thier own country. This is an international game, why the subtle segregation?

Makes sense to me;look at Xavi and Iniesta Valdes; they are local heroes at Barcelona.It is pretty difficult to succeed at a top team; let alone one player from local. So if this guy indeed succeed in playing regular furst team. I can imagine people would want that to wear that jersey; aside from the supergreat Messi and Henry..

Another note; BB did not mention you are getting less from now..Only you will be getting more if indeed you would have a local hero...

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

You forgot Puyol an Pique:) You are right I was afraid this is going to be increase in foreign players salaries but increase in revenues is more acceptable.

Nobody wants to watch a basketball game in a giant football stadium


Then what is considered an acceptable stadium size?

capping 40K?
or 30K?

The highest capacity arena in the NBA is the United Center at 21,000. The highest capacity in the NCAA is the 33,000 Carrier Dome at Syracuse University.

I have trouble imagining the existence of a basketball arena beyond 35k anywhere in the world, even less so of one that fills up regularly -- though I might of course be wrong.

And of course, there is nothing in the last news post saying BB will be precisely calibrated to any of these numbers -- but if I had to guess, I'd say more than 35,000 is probably too large.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

I can promise that you will not have to make the arena decision blind; the opportunity to get a refund for arena construction will be offered for long enough that you will be able to look at the effects of changes on your team before making a final decision on whether you want a smaller arena. We have not finalized plans yet for how the release will be done, so I'm not sure I can give you a direct answer yet as to whether there will be a preview before the start of next season.



if you find the time i would be happy about an "preview", because it is smarter to sell people before the Play Offs - and when i make a defizit with the new system i must sell some of my key players because the chanche is high that i finished 5th or 4th, and make around 1.0-1.2 Mio deficit during the PO and would be in the depth afterwards^^
