so 13k/7k/500/50 will be an effective arena even tho it exceeds the 20k thing? i will do 12.75k/6.7k/500/50 which is exactly 20k and then see if i wanna go to the 13k/7k/500/50. I just didn't wanna mess up on arena so i wanted a long term plan

also would it be good to have that type of ratio with bleacher and Lt in lower divisions or should that be done in higher divisions?

cuz im hoping to have a arena like this in 2 or 3 seasons

7970
4190
310
30

that is similar to the ratio of 12.75k /6.7k/500/50. did my math and that would add up to 12.5k capacity. so that would be my D3 arena but maybe bigger but similar ratios

There's no reason to aim for 4k lower tier when you move up to III - darky's pulling in a little over 3000 with minimum prices and he's coming off a finals appearance: (23003)

On the other hand, you can certainly push to max out the courtside at 500 earlier, since you'd be able to sell those out easily if that was your sole goal (or sell close to 500 with prices in the 70s instead of the minimum of 50). I'd say 40 luxury boxes appears to be the best you can do in III as well - I was selling out 40 consistently at $400, and dropped a few when I upped the price to $415 so I'm back down on that.

Thanks man this has been a big help. going for 10.5k/2k/500/40 or 10k/2.5k/500/40 is what i will do and then build up LT in D2 and then finish off the 12.75k/6.7/500/50

I second what Rik says. Basically this is what i envision for DIV 3:
13500
3500-4000
500
40

Overall there is good reason to get your bleachers up before lower and it all relates to pricing. Same with courtside. Lower/Box are limited by pricing as well.

Court is easy to get to max seating. In fact it can sell out at max seating in Div 4.

Also I like to be one of the bigger economies in my division. It frees up cash for other things. Once you get to division 3 you may want to consider maxing your arena to the above before moving from div 3 to 2 so that you can have that extra cash for higher weekly salaries.

Darky coming off a finals appearance, try selling those seats with the demotion penalty! Not happening.

I will finish at 14k/7k/500/50. Maybe finish it off next season. The nice thing about hitting a 20k arena is never having to budget for arena building again. Revenue all goes into roster or staff.

I got a nice spike last game and somehow sold 81% of my seats and over 3200 LT. I don't think last year's performance really makes much of a difference. I didn't win a single game last year and 19k attendance at the end of the season. This year, with half a ball on my survey for last year's performance, I am selling as many LT seats as a guy that went to the finals last season. I think the fan survey needs a serious overhaul.
