attendance...

NYFAN · 08-03-2003, 06:15 PM

My supporters and fans were high on life, yet i only sold out 14k out of my 40k stadium... my opponent has been walked-over 2 consecutive games, is this why I had such a poor turnout??

vex · 08-03-2003, 06:20 PM

Tell me about it, I have a stadium with 31K Cap., yet only 10K showed up because of nasty showers. Plus the team was a walkover.

Well, their supporters sure aren't happy, and I'm sure they're at the bottom of the standings.

illinifan999 · 08-03-2003, 06:22 PM

I sold 20k of my 22k stadium playing a bot team.

daedalus · 08-03-2003, 06:51 PM

What's your supporter club size, NYFAN? And, yes, them being walked-over would probably effect it quite a bit.

NYFAN · 08-03-2003, 07:14 PM

I have a club of over 1300... I forget what my stadium size was last year, I believe 23k or 27k, but I regularly sold that out.

Bee · 08-03-2003, 07:54 PM

I just expanded to 23K and nasty showers limited my attendance to 13K. I was really hoping to get at least 20K.

DocHolliday69 · 08-03-2003, 08:09 PM

I was A few people short of A sell out for the first home game of the year....

Nyarlahotep · 08-03-2003, 09:04 PM

I sold out my 25k stadium and am currently rolling naked on the piles of money I made.

thealmighty · 08-03-2003, 10:50 PM

I had my first game in the newly expanded, 18k seat Heaven and had less than 100 empty seats.

BTW, for those interested in such things, ALL the empty seats were in the covered (or whatever the 3rd most expensive area is called) section.

I used the 62.5%/25%/10%/2.5% ratio. Maybe 62.5/25/9.7/2.8 would be better (or some such).

What ratio is used by FOFC players and how did the 'NOT QUITE SOLD OUT' ratio approach the golden one?

mckerney · 08-03-2003, 11:14 PM

10890 spectators had come to City Lights this cloudy day.

I have a capacity of 14525 and I was very disappointed by this because coming in I was on a 11 game undefeated 8 game winning (10-0-1 on the streak), 895 supporters who were high on life. I'd also sold out my last several home games, and I figure I lost around $15k in revenue by not selling out, which is pretty damn important when I'm trying to get out of debt.

NAIWF · 08-04-2003, 12:01 AM

Your opponents current streak/position is just as important as how well you're doing, especially this early in the season.

Imhotep's child nyarlahotep better bring 10,000 fans to match mine so we can make some money on Wednesday

Another home game on Sunday = cha-ching. Well that and my $760,000 in the bank already

Nyarlahotep · 08-04-2003, 01:02 AM

We're #1 with 7 game winning and 14 game unbeaten streaks going, so I'll bring my share.

Aesyrqwe · 08-04-2003, 01:20 AM

I dont know if its been said yet or not, but if you PIC you get lower attendence..

Nyarlahotep · 08-04-2003, 10:18 AM

You sure about that? I have never seen any changes in attendance based on PIC/ MOTS before.

FrogMan · 08-04-2003, 11:45 AM

Same here. Aes, you got any documentation of what you're saying?

vex · 08-04-2003, 01:29 PM

That wouldn't make any sense anyways. Because, how would the crowd know BEFORE the game that the team wasn't going to try its hardest?

A valid point, but since when has HT necessarily been logical?

I was on the other side of the spectrum- my supporters were high on life and came in droves- nearly filling up my 32K stadium! I was worried I had made it much too big, but over 31K showed up on Sunday. Sweet, sweet gravy: over $160K!

Every game I've pic'd Ive had a large drop in attendence. Someone told me that it was because I pic'd during Mirc, but I forgot who. I just always believed it to be true..
