The budget is a projection of how much the “owner” will allow you to spend. It is a summary figure of what you can spend period. It includes your player/coaches contracts, stadium improvements, and promotions to help your attendance. I think this is incorrect. The budget is, in fact, just what you are allowed to spend on player contracts (and possibly coach contracts). When you do promotions, and stadium upgrades, buy venders, advertise, and the like, the cost of these actions comes out of your Cash....your revenue. This is why you have to take out loans at times when you have a negative cash flow, to give you cash to allow you to "buy" these improvements. For instance, when you start a franchise, each team is given a "cash bank" of 20,000,000. From these funds, you can buy additional facilities, spend on advertisements, and the like, to increase revenue. Spending from this cash bank has no effect on your budget. The Budget, is quite simply, a payroll budget, and nothing else.

Thanks for that clarification.
