Lol..man i am really dug myself a new one didn't I.

So what is a reasonable stadium size that I should be at by now for the division I am in?

I guess I saw I never sold out my arena (because of prices) that I didn't expand the arena.

I play in all these other sims and I do so well but this one has had me baffled and i was able to survive for a while. But it looks like it is biting me in the ass.

I put one of my better players on the transfer list to hopefully recoup some of my losses and go from there.

I actually would be interested in hearing some of the more experienced voices in terms of arena size. But, I would say (especially given the time you have played the game) that an arena size of 6500-7000 would be standard. Considering your time in DIII, it probably should be even larger.

But every team is different. I personally have been building out my arena quickly while I am at a level where I don't have major transaction costs (i.e., I don't have to have big salaried coaches and I don't have to buy expensive Transfer List Players).

Basically the size depends on ticket price so its tough to say X is the right size.

That said, the only way to make money consistently long term is through arena expansion and winning games so if you make baby steps every week it will pay off long term.

Check out what other teams are charging in your division and what kind of attendance they are getting and try to figure out an optimal price from that to almost fill your arena. (if you are sold out you are probably charging too little)

Just like in real life you gotta learn to budget.

Yeah In all the other Sim Games I am really good at expanding and budegeting. This one I didn't pay full attention too and didn't take the time to learn the ticketing and pricing part which really hurt me.
