Well, that's another house rule, isn't it?

Unless you're saying that a team would need to meet a minimum attendance percentage based on the team's final won-loss record, I don't think you'll get the results you want. If you just impose a minimum attendance mark, you'll penalize genuinely bad teams that can't draw fans, regardless of their ticket prices. Instead, you would need to penalize a team that fails to reach an attendance mark commensurate with its record.
