Good to hear, Markus!

Now if I could just convince you to add a "Average League Attendance" field to the other League Totals fields available. Then one could tailor the typical attendance for a league to an era in the same way they can currently tailor batting averages or home runs or stolen bases to an era.

When one considers the fact that MLB today on average pulls in twice as many fans per game as it did in 1970, and four times as many as in 1937, there is a wide variation in typical attendance levels that ought to be accounted for in some way.

Being able to tailor attendance levels to match the historical figures would look much more realistic, and would play a significant part in the financial aspect of the game as well. It also allows a lot of flexibility for fictional league players as well, since they could then set up small town leagues by getting the attendance levels to something more appropriate for that concept than would be the case for major league typical attendance levels.
