DC,

I have two questions for you. I apologize if I missed these being mentioned in the thread.

1) Do you have a good source of historical market data? I'm finding some good stuff about TV markets, and of course I can go on city population data, but I'm more interested in finding out something like: How many people lived in the New YorkCity/Nothern NJ/Long Island market in 1930? I'm extremely interested in using Accountant X and need some good historical market population data. I guess a question within this question. Do you have any idea, historically, how markets influenced attendance/media revenue? Like...maybe earlier in the century, it was mostly city folk that impacted team revenues rather than the surrounding market?

Basically, would city population data be reliable in Accountant X for pre-television years?

2) At what point in the season do you input the data from Excel into the game? Last day of season? First day of off-season? First Day of Pre-Season?

Thank you for any insight you have!
