Not sure if any of you care about this kind of stuff but I like it.

I like it very much so XD.

So long as I keep selling out I'm happy. Though I may need to be in the top-3 for that to happen. Will be interesting to see what my attendance is on Friday.

This is probably the best numers to look at if you want to predict the future success of a team. I'm personnaly adding 6000 seats this season, and I plan to add the last 9000 next offseason. Running succesfully a team in I.1 for may seasons in a row costs tons of money. You can't catch up without many many seats. Good job. It should wake up some managers...

Great summary! Thanks for reminding me of the head start... now every time I lose it'll be with an exclamation mark!

Anyone want to do the Human resources and economic department size. I think that's another key indicator to future success. If no one has time I'll do it this weekend

I was given a due-yesterday project today. Needs to be done come Friday morning. Once that's done I can do it. Easiest way is likely get the facilities and rink of all teams in a spreadsheet then just sort by whatever you want to show. One thing you can't get is daily expenses (you can estimate it though). My team costs me 4.3M/day.

Mine is 3.6M but that includes loan repayments - your 4.3 includes that as well?

I have a training camp question - I sent players at the end of the season and they are just finishing up now. Will that count as one of my two opportunities to send guys this season? Or do I still have two left?

Nope. Pure expenses, no loan. Expenses (as-is) per day:

Players: 616k
Staff: 1,489k
Facilities: 795k
Arena: 1,142k

Last season all my expenses were covered by game-related-income (tickets, skyboxes, souvenirs). General and media sponsors were pure prospect-buying profit

Staff: 1,489k
Facilities: 795k
Arena: 1,142k

These three are pretty big compared to me. Paying those types of fees would make me stagnant at this point.

My staff expenses were low until recently. Once my rink was maxed I could afford the staff. Generally as much as you put into your rink it'll pay off itself provided you have the on-ice talent to sell out the games. Keep in mind I make 8M/game from tickets at home. 1.5 league home games/week that's half of the above expenses covered. Friendly tickets, NC tickets, souvenirs and skyboxes cover the rest.

Does it become difficult to sell out games at some point? I've invested pretty heavily in my arena size thinking that's a solid way to generate income in the future. I would hate to see a big rink and empty seats

I've always sold out. So long as you have a good OTR and respectable league standing you'll be fine. I wouldn't think 20,000 seats in div3 would be economical but I still suspect it'd pay for itself at the very least via tickets and media sponsor. In div2 you should be fine. Your team has a decent OTR and a sturdy enough OTS that they'll be in a good position and should easily fill 15,000+ especially as the season progresses.

I've been running a training camp, good sir. Playing 3 lines, with some of my top talent getting ready for our dance on Monday. On Friday, you'll see my OTS jump from 148 to around 160 (methinks).
