9th try was much more successful.

Won the SuperBowl in our 4th year. Attendance was up. Profits were soaring over $25 mil per year. In the 5th year, we decided to sign some building-block players to contract extensions and sign min sal guys to make up for greater signing bonus budget.

Alas, we failed to secure homefield advantage, as we did in the 4th year, and despite a 7% increase in fan attendance over the regular season, we LOST money in ticket sales off the year previous, when we hosted playoff games.

I was fooled into thinking we were in better financial spot than we were. Lost money on the 5th season. Fired. Time to start over:

10th attempt coming up.
