My arena finally sold out today!

The EIC travels very well

Nice! I haven't sold mine out yet, but I'm waiting until the second half to upgrade some of the addons, so i'm not too too surprised.

The way I see it, as long as I'm getting over 3k a game, I'm still beating out the average league attendance by like 1000 ($400,000) per game.

Given that I'll have another 2500 done in time for the start of next season, I'm hoping that advantage doubles. =)

P.S. I don't know about all of you guys, but this next draft is looking as worthless as a bull with tits so far to me.

tits must be worth something ...

It probably helped playing the first place team, especially as the halfway point is approaching.

I haven't bothered with anything but the VIP boxes so far on my triple.

I'm upgrading 2 stands to minimum triples (I didn't have the money in time to upgrade to a max triple), though I am waiting until tomorrow to start the second one.

Nice... It'll be interesting to see if we start pulling away in terms of money after this season.

I mean aside from me and you (and EIC, who I expect to advance this season), nobody else has really started significantly building their arenas.

"Tim Rivers takes a shot. Save by Stone Larkin. Patrice Perez takes a shot. Save by Stone Larkin."

Nice! Love seeing that when I'm watching live games.

Looking around the other leagues these are the teams focusing on arenas (projected to have 4,000+ seats by next season-I didn't double check the completion dates), in no particular order:
I.1
1) Erratic Emus (5750)
2) Mojo Express (4,000) - surprisingly
3) Covington Rowdies (5,700)
4) Fighting Okra (4,000)
5) Inter Melon (7,250)
6) Beer and Pizza (6,500)
7) Team USA (8,750), but they will need to restock on players
II.1
8) EIC (4,000)
9) Doppelgangers (6,500)
10) Cataclysm (5,750)
11) Cactus HC (4,500)
12) Coin Flips (4,250)
II.2
13) Red Star (4,750)
14) Pballas (4,250)
15) Rochester Radiation (4,300)
16) London Knights (5,650)
II.3
17) Dummkopf FSV (4,000)
18) Badel 1862 Zagreb.. (4,200)
19) Psychos (6,500)
III.3
20) MICHIGAN Giraffes (4,100)
21) Atlanta Handballas (4,000)
III.1
22) King Henrik (4,050)
23) Rub and Tuggers (4,250)

There are only 4 teams below division II with more than 4,000 seats projected to be built by then end of the season at this point.

You should've waited one more day since today is the last chance to get sponsor money and start a 1,000 seat TFM in time for sponsors! I'll be at 5,000 seats in time to ink my next deal.

and i will be 8000

well.. maybe not, sold out only one time so i will hold a bit to expand

My player sale today went for more than expected, so I took out a loan and started another 1k TFM. I'll be at 5750 now.

wow... nice job. yeah, I was considering throwing an offer out on him (i like u.s. players), but i decided it would probably get too rich for my blood.

That and I'm saving up for upgrades that need to start by a certain time.

Favorite stat line of today:

Quentin Wiley
goals/shots: 2/4
shooting %: 50
assists: 1
steals: 1
blocked shots: 0
time played: 34:43
...
turnovers: 8

Really? EIGHT? By ONE GUY? in only 35 minutes??

Wow. That's a new one for me. I guess his 37% chemistry isn't quite enough. But with Leonard Baldwin out injured I didn't have much choice.

I have no idea why he went for 13 million - his OR is ok, but his qualities are not very good, especially for a 5/6. His EQ is worse than a guy I bought last season for 500k.
