Future enhancements: Spring Training and Minor League revenue

[Florida Tiger]

Someone might want to put this in the appropriate forum...

In a future OOTP version, it would be nice to be able to set a Spring Training locale (Palm Springs, anyone?) and generate revenue from spring training games, potential exhibition games against teams from other leagues, and also take in revenue from my minor league affiliates. The game already accounts for attendance in spring and minor league games, so now show me the money!

It always seems like I'm strapped for cash or right up against my randomly generated owner-imposed budget so it would be nice to be able to generate some extra money to spend.

Spring training revenue is a miniscule part of a major league club's revenue in real life. And in some cases the expenses associated with spring training are larger than the spring training revenue generated.

In real life most minor league affiliates are independently owned businesses, and other than the attendance "tax" collected from all minor league clubs (and presumably distributed to major league teams on an equal share basis), major league clubs do not get revenue from their affiliates.

And even if they did, the expenses associated with running the affiliates would be larger than the revenues generated.
