I've been building my lower tier for about 3 seasons now and completely left my bleachers around 11800. But when they're priced at $20 and they're full every, single game I finally decided that I needed to build more this week.

I definitely don't think that 10000/10000/500/50 if the optimum number as the guys that have that many lower tier built can't fill more than 7000-8000 of them at the lowest price point. At the same time, I don't think that 15000/5000/500/50 is the best number either. I think the perfect number falls somewhere in between those 2 sizes. Right now I'm leaning towards something in the 13000/7000 range although 12500/7500 might be ideal too.

You looked like sharing us part of you calculations and theories. What I know is the cap was introduced to limit the income of the old teams were getting. Which to me is kind of telling me bigger crowd does mean more income, and this is also what I have been experiencing in this game. Sure you can disagree.

To me it's just natural that you earn that much considering your status. You won consecutive titles. You have a big enough arena and price your arena well and didn't overload it. You won all of your league games this season. It's rare to find someone with the same situation you are in. You are an outlier. I didn't look at your theories and calculations. I failed to see how you can attribute your success to your arena composition because there is no comparison.

The 20k cap is one thing. The courtside and luxury cap is another thing. The latter one was introduced slightly later. I was always referring to the 20k cap in this entire thread when I mentioned the cap. I have provided a formula for this. Selling over 20k is possible simply because some have expanded their arena past the 21k mark. It was explicitly stated that the 20k cap was introduced to limit attendance and income so that new teams may catch up the old teams.

Not sure why you built your last 1000+ bleacher seats?

The max # of seats where you can fill your arena is 19000. And if you're at 21000 the max you can fill is 20000 seats. Every seat after that just gets worse and worse. The return on investment past 21000 seats is very low. And a lot of these top teams that you're comparing yourself too have been playing this game forever so they built their arenas while people were experimenting with the best way to build them. I think if you PM'd any of the 3 guys you mentioned they would all tell you that they would build their arenas differently today.

Personally, I'd stop building right now, spend your money to improve your roster and focus on getting yourself to D1. Once you get to D1 and after you raise you ticket prices, you'll be making a lot more money at the gate. After you establish yourself in D1 and have a excess cash would I expand your lower tier, and even then it might be a poor idea.
