I noticed that after my first arena upgrade that my attendance rose, even though I did not sell out before the upgrade. Meaning the % did not rise, but since I had a higher total seats, I sold more seats. This would mean that the attendance formula, to some degree, take (or at least took) into account the total size of the arena.

Was it only after your first arena upgrade this happened? I seriously doubt that the arena formula takes into account the size of the arena other than the soft and hard cap (you cannot sell more seats than you have). Couldn't it have been that some factors changed as you upgraded your arena? Maybe you won a game, played a team with more STH?
I am very sorry if this is too much out of topic.

No, also after every consequtive upgrade. I seldom sold out arena before upgrading again. I have not played around so much with the ticket prices either. I lowered them quite early, since some german team presented the math of selling more seats at 9$ vs less seats at a higher price (It's long ago, and I don't remember exactly where or who)... It could have been other factors, but it would be great to know if this is (or was) indeed a factor (if so, big or small factor?) in the attendance formula.

I really doubt that upgrading you have more attendance. Sounds very ilogical to me.

I may be completely wrong. Or that I have mixed it up with the impact of lowered prices. Don't get why it kept rising as I built more without me changing the prices though... Maybe because I started very low.

i am also at your side at this point, even if i believe that building early could be pretty succesfull and won#t stock you @ 1500 visitors ;)

I agree. Being one of those teams that still makes a profit, I suppose teams like mine (all 136 of them in the game) are partly responsible for prices rising instead of falling. ( For what it's worth, I have less than 1.5 million in my bank at the moment) The problem is as much as I would like to have a team where my income was equal to my expenses I refuse to pay a ridiculous salary to a player that I don't find very appealing for my team. What's more, I have to save (or sell and save) a long time to find players who are upgrades. So, I continue to save in order to afford an upgrade but then I have a surplus of cash which alerts the economic czars that prices still need to rise, even though I would never want nor buy a player whose prices I am partly responsible for escalating.
And we aren't poor small countries. We are rich, community-less, competition-starved countries.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

maybe a half solution could eb to reduce the effect on visitors from the last game or a winning streak, actually the difference are nearly 20% and small country teams won't loose that much then the teams in the Big countrys these will help at least in the BBB competition.
