Just checked out the FAQ for this.............

It says that if I go up to IV then the base crowd is 42,000 plus 1% for each position you are !

And it can go down if bad weather - all makes sense

What I don't get then is in the top division why do teams have the max 132500 stadiums ?? Base is 60000 plus 1% per position makes a max of 66000 ?

But presumably not or they wouldn't waste their money.......

Thanks

As far as I know, the only hope of filling a max stadium is in the AFLC. Everybody else is wasting their money if they max their stadium. Not only is the money lost building to max, but you pay extra maintenance, AND you hurt your ticket sales on league home games because you won't get full value for all the VIP and Exec seats since you won't sell out.

I think many max their stadium for the prestige of being on the biggest stadiums list.

Ok so as a (hopefully) Div IV team next season, would the max I could get if in 5th place for arguments sake be 44,100 ?? (42,000 max plus 5%)

Thanks

That sounds pretty close. The numbers are never exact as attendance varies from week to week regardless. Keep in mind that if you're close to possible max on stadium size, you won't max stadium the first few weeks of next season.

I think it's better to be a little below the max possible, then hopefully I can expand at some point early in the season. Of course this isn't always possible and by the time you find out it will be too late to do it differently. Again, this is my opinion and others may vary... and they could be better.

Alot more goes into it than only just league position. Read the faq again.

Well yes, if you were top, then the crowd would be 46,200 (42,000 + 10%) or am I still wrong there as the mail before that indicates ??

I read that the weather affects, but as, in if its bad weather then less show up....... if its sunny weather then its as above.

I read the FAQ again and it seems to say this as I read it......

Thanks

Team form...
Faq does not give an extact figure.

I have seen a 106k league game once towards the end of a season.

If youre in the top 5 for your league, in the second half of the season, you should be getting 120% easily of the base amount.

Sorry, but I'm really not understanding how that is ??

FAQ says: 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)

So a team that is 1st will get 10% above base attendance, which should give 44,600 for a Div IV team at #1 and 66,000 for the very top Div I team ?

How can 120,000 be made up of this ?

I'm not being awkward, I'd like to know, as it really isn't clear at all, so I can plan how many more seats to build in the off season.
