what are current NBA stadiums?

my upgrade completed before my home game wohoo 10,265 big ones..... how many can i fill? Im only 14 weeks into the game so i cant imagine its worth me building loads more as when im out of the cup ill only have 1 game per weeks... also my last league game this season is again a TV game so ill probably use this and whatever cash is available to upgrade to 13-14k seats in time for start of next season...

where do you think the cap is for stadiums? already with wages ramping up for centres expansion to 10-12k seems necessary and then to at least be 80% full....

I imagine around 15-20k, give or take a bit.

Question for those of you with the large arenas. How large are you planning to go?

The key issue is, nobody knows how hard you could cut ticket prices to gain the maximum profit. We've to work out the formula first to answer this question.

Since you don't have to pay weekly arena costs yet they will probably go to infinity, just to spend their money.

High ticket prices or more seats?

My question is – do you know if you will get a more money from high attendeance and cheeper tickets - or high ticket prices with lower volume of visitors?

Where is a „good middle“? - did you find it already?

Higher prices until you prices until you max them out. It will get you more money simply by virtue of the fact that you're not investing in an expansion.

I am interested in getting several posts with attendances in arenas where all sectors have had attendance, and neither has been maxed out. Preferably, these will come from arenas where the prices are either the default, the maximal, or have been increased above the default level with an equal percentage in all sectors.

If neither of this is the case, I guess any attendance will do. Takers?

Mine is nowhere near the biggest but I got a full house yesterday (253k!) on the anniversary of my first season!

Happy Madison Center

Bleachers : 9000 (Current Price: $16) (Price Next Month $16)
Lower Tier : 1000 (Current Price: $55) (Price Next Month $55)
Courtside Seats : 250 (Current Price: $155) (Price Next Month $155)
Luxury Boxes : 15 (Current Price: $1075) (Price Next Month $1075)

Total Capacity : 10265

I dont know if it is worth upgrading quite yet as many of the teams in my league are new and I am wondering about the support they will bring. Also it seems 1 defeat and you take a pretty big hit...

Having judged more established teams that have been around for 2-3 seasons I imagine they also have much larger fan bases to me and when I see them not selling out if BB adds a stadium maintenence fee in the near future i wouldnt want to be watching my profits be eaten away because ive overbuilt.

I have a PR10 guy now so next month will probably just raise prices and see if i can learn anything else from this!

Indeed, but I'm talking about proportion between volume of people which want to visit my match and ticket prices (you know, some of them will not come because of a high ticket price)

example - there is a 10000 people which will come to Bleachers if it will be for free

5000 people if the price will be (for example) 15 dollars

1000 of people if it will be for 20 dollars??? or less?

I just doesn't know when will be a right time for expand - too high prices could get a less attendeance (that could means less renevue) that it should be if I had a bigger stadium..

another example - Imagine that I have a big 20000 stadium and want to get it full - I will get the prices low, but there aren't so much people to visit my match - that means lower arena renevue - even if I had higher attendeance in all history.. do you get the point?
