Impossible to fill seats, no matter what.

Even worse, my attendance numbers are decreasing every game despite winning every game by double digits. WTF?

What kind of fans stop coming to games because the team is winning?

That's actually a pretty large arena for D.IV, and given that size, your ticket prices are a tad high (bleachers, courtside and lux box; lower tier is about right).

Has your fan survey changed over the past few games, despite your continued winning? What level PR manager do you have?

Don't forget that attendance is also influenced by the importance of the game and strength of the opposition. So if you played your biggest rival in game 1, it won't be unnatural for your attendance to drop slightly afterwards.

So attendance is based on fixed numbers rather than percentage.

What I mean is if I have a 6000 seats arena with an attendance of 5000. If I increase the size of my arena to 8000 (just as an example) my attendance will still be 5000, supposing all others parameters like fans opininons, srength of opponents... stay equal.?

But not 5000*(8000/6000).

yes, bigger arena doesn't increase the interest but you could earn money with cheaper prices.

How did you come upon this figure? Not disagreeing, just that I've never heard there was an exact figure that could be achieved.

I've scouted a good number of D.IV teams (trying to get myself in good position whenever I do promote - yeah Imma geek), and the highest gross from attendance is right about 220K as boss says.

It's just that very few D.IV teams have anywhere near the arena sizes to capture that. The large majority of D.IV teams are pulling in around 120K per game.

As I was scanning a number of d.IV arenas I noticed that hardly any teams in d.IV charge more than 10 bucks for bleachers. Have you ever experimented with charging more?

I found one team that was about 228k, but everyone else was quite a bit lower. Do you know the max for other divisions?
