Im not sure how im underachieving.

Last season, I tanked. Well sort of. I sold off my roster to a basic roster that was fetching my 250k a week, while staying in second place in my conference. Then I bought myself a killer roster and made it to the finals where, I got a little cockyand tried FCP and lost game 1. Then I won game 2 and I forgot that game 3 was on Sunday so I never set the lineup and I lost that one. So instead of being in division II, I have to go out and kick everyones ass in my league.

Also the last 3 seasons has seen, Fundamentally Sound, Yellowknife TestIcicles and Pangaa. 3 good teams, what am I supposed to do? I will just continue to serve everyones ass on a silver platter, promote and try nto do the same in div II.

End of 2nd boast.

Haha, but you have an unlucky cup draw for next week. Let's see you get a 3rd boast out of that. :)

Im at 65k, losing 8k a week with only an 83% filled arena, but I am getting revenue from cup games to. Plus if I promote I get 500000 that I can throw into my arena and another guard.

You would make more off your arena if you dropped your prices.

I don't know Beener.
Seems pretty reasonable Div III prices to me
how is it that the team is undefeated, faces the only other undefeated team in the league,
and the attendance goes down?
sometimes it makes no sense.
Does have quite a few luxury boxes though (47)
Perhaps there's a limit on revenue for Div III
he pulled in over $224,000 last game, pretty good for his level.

There are 2 very simple rules with arenas. If you are filling section every game then you either need to raise prices, build seats, or both.

On the flip side if your arena isn't full then you're missing the optimum price and you'll make more money if you find it.

Almost every game Sony has 1600 empty bleachers (81% full) and 30 empty luxury boxes (36%) full so he's definitely leaving a bunch of $$$ on the table in those 2 sections. The other 2 sections look fine.

I still think its possible that only so many people will spend only so much money to come and watch Div III games.
And with my own team I have found a third option.
With full bleachers I have not expanded and as the team comtinues to win,
new fans have no choice if they want to come but to buy more expensive seats as attendance goes up.

Yes the division you're playing in makes a difference but so does the size of one's arena and your price point. Pretty sure you didn't have 47 luxury boxes built in divsion 3 like he does and you didn't have almost 8800 bleachers either (I know this because you only had 9100 fans totol at your final D3 home playoff game ;) ) .

But no matter what division you're in the game is set up that you'll make more arena revenue with a large arena with low prices than a small arena with high prices. At least until your arena reaches capacity which is 19000. So I can pretty much guarantee that if Sony drops bleacher prices from $14 to $13 and luxury boxes from $700 to $400 he'll make more arena money than he does right now.
