GForce and UKRedsFan....
Just thought I would let you guys know that I have been doing some research and testing on Fan Interest. I am using the average attendance per game for each team in each of the past three seasons and dividing that by the stadium capacity in each of those seasons to get the percentage of seats filled per game (I believe Rolen17 made this suggestion). I have simply plugged that percentage in as each teams' Fan Interest - making arbitrary adjustments for teams with new stadiums or one who made the playoffs for the first time in several years.
So far, I have only simmed one season and I am satisfied with about half of the teams. In somecases, I need to adjust the numbers up or down more in relation to the teams current trends, ie - Atlanta's attendance has declined by 7.5% in each of the last 2 seasons.
I plan to tweak these numbers over the next few days and then get back to you with my findings. In the meantime, I would be interested to know what teams this post's readers believe should have an increase in attendance and which ones will likely decrease. Hopefully we can come to an agreement on those teams and I can get some numbers that seem to work.
Also, I have started a new thread so everyone can give feedback on this and not have to fill-up this thread with material that isn't related to the roster project.
