It is right now, however, after hosting all of the playoff games this season, we will be making massive improvements to the stadium so that will make it more level with everyone else. Besides, who cares how your stadium looks if you can't win it all.
well, im guessing that all those 40s you got on your team care, because i cant see how you can even come close to affording all their upgrades. which, frankly, is a disservice to them, because your stadium is very weak considering the time austin has been in existence.
also, we have 'won it all' so i guess right now we have you in that and stadium capacity. lets hope you get all those home playoff games, because you definitely need the money more than us.
you guys seem to be pretty confident that we will pose you no problems.. i guess we'll see.
Actually, I have everyone's equipment pretty much covered. I had put a lot of money into stadium construction at the beginning of the season so when people hit 40, I could move the money over and then give that to them. Then when the playoff money comes in that can go to the stadium upgrade. You may think that there is a disservice to them, but they know everything that goes on and, if you go and look at who has just recently signed contracts to stay with the team, some for the next seasons, you would see that they don't have any problems. I thnk you are just trying to make more out of something than it is. We still brought in more than 15 million to start the season and we had only sold out 2 games at that point. We have continually received money from ticket sales each night. I looked at a lot of the teams in this league at the start of the season and we had about as much cash as they did. I am not sure if we just have higher ticket prices that work for our fans or what, but we have been generating close to the same money in ticket sales when compared to this league.
I totally agree with getting player buyin. Personally I did that in season 2 before signing any of my guys and promised them paybacks later. To put it into perspective - we have sold $45,429,600 in ticket sales this year and are averaging 2mil in concessions per game. With that its easy to see that lvl 40 upgrades wont impact my team at all (net profit of $61 mil give or take) this season alone BEFORE playoffs. I always try to keep about 20-30 mil in my equipment fund, you never know when the game is going to change and you have to react to it.
Will this impact you negatively in the long run? No. You will get there in a few seasons and there will be no difference, it just makes things a little nicer. Obviously with your stadium the way it is you haven't been negatively impacted by your players! It just may make it a bit tighter on you as they hit 40 (1.2 mil per player for upgrades) then it will on those that have finished the stadium
