I'm definitely for random events from the solo play perspective. It really would add an extra challenge to the game.

Some examples I'd like to see are "economic factors" -- if the country goes into a recession and people start spending less on tickets, merchandise, etc. that should have some effect. Afterall, the economy goes in cycles, and should be considered part of the equation. Inflation, unemployment, consumer spending, stuff like that plays into fans' support of a team.

Stadium costs should also be considered. A stadium is like a house only bigger and more costly. I doubt very much that an entire season goes by without any "disasters" at all 30 of the major ballparks.

Along this line stadium staffing could effect things. If a team cuts its staff, maybe more "random" events could happen due to lack of attention.

There area whole lot of possibilities here, and they definitely would make the game more deep.
