From what I understand about the market in Hattrick was that there was/is too much income and the inflation of the HT$ was out of control.
Actually what happened there was that the salaries were too high and we didnt have money to pay it, because the only way to make real money was to train/sell players, but their market value was dropping exponentially as the market grew. But the rest of your point is correct anyway.
I think another reason for the smaller and more expensive arenas on BB is that this is basketball, not soccer. In real life basketball arenas are obviously much smaller, and so it is the attendence and the income. We cannot have arena expansion cheaper because we cannot have arenas with 100k seats (like my HT arena) :D
