This is from FAQ.

Attendance
Attendance is calculated by using the basic attendance (60.000) and manipulating that number by different factors that effect the willingness of spectators to come and see the game:
- League level
The basic attendance is lowered by 6.000 for each level below the first; 54.000 for second level, 48.000 for third, 42.000 for fourth, and so on until the basic attendance is 6.000. The basic attendance stays 6.000 after the tenth level.
- Team Form
Team form plays a big factor in the minds of the spectators. They are much more willing to come and root for their team if the team has a good league run and less willing to come when the team hits a bad streak.
- Team Postion
For every position above the last a team gets 1% more attendance. (For Example: a Team that is fifth will get 5% more attendance - calculated with the basic attendance, not the attendance modified by the team form or weather)
- Weather
Weather can make a big difference when it comes to attendance. If it's sunny then the crowds are more willing to go and see the match. If the weather is bad then the people tend to stay at home rather than go to the game.



It doesn't specifically say that both teams are considered, but I believe most think this is the case as you'll see higher attendances when playing teams near the top of their league and/or higher divisions. And yes, team form does seem to be a large factor.

Yes, only the home team gets money from ticket sales.
In leagues, all teams play home and home against every other team in the league. This allows teams to spend their money on stadium improvements and get the benefits of it, instead of having to share it with other teams, some of which may not be spending to improve their stadium, but instead be satisfied leaching off your expenditures.
Friendly, regional cup, and (I believe) AFLC games are all split income games. In friendly games, it's up to you and your opponent as to where you play the game, so you are able to choose the stadium that you hope provides the most income. Regional cup games are automatically played at the stadium with the most seats (decided at the time the game is scheduled, not at the time the game is played). This should provide good income for both teams. I don't know for sure on AFLC games, so if it's that important to know, someone with experience there should give the details.

Hope this helps.

Q1 - yes both teams situations are used in the calculation.

Q2 - yes. Q2.5 - just because it is the way it is.

Stadium size - 28,500 , crowd 50,000?????

Let's hear the explanation for this one!

I also see the Bucs stadium is gone????????

Ah, yes, I see. Be nice to have a stadium seat number recorded at the time of the game. I feel another suggestion coming on.

I don't really think that this is actually neccessary.
