Attendance

cdidman · 11-22-2012, 10:17 AM

I have a question or a problem. I have a team that is currently playing .830 ball. I am coming off of winning the championship, and the year before that I lost in the championship. I have a Cy young winner and a MVP on my team. I have several players that are very popular and my team currently leads the league in hr's and runs scored. So what I'm saying is I should have a very interesting and fun team to watch. I have capacity of 35,000 for my stadium and I currently am averaging 15,000 fans a game...why? My ticket prices have bounced from $10 to $12. My team should be selling out, or at least near capacity. Opening day, after winning the championship, I had a crowd of 20,000. That game, if no other game should be sold out! Maybe this is something that should be tweaked in a patch or something, but this seems to be the most unrealistic part that I can find in the game. Is there a trick here I don't know about to increase the crowds?

Thanks.

What city are you in?

Sounds like you need to crank up the difficulty a little bit.

Oh, to answer your question...

My guess is that your fan interest is very high. That's not the problem. My other guess is that your market size is tiny--market size has nothing to do with what city you are in at all, zilch, nada.

You will need to grow your fanbase over time (long slow process) or go into commssioners mode and make your market size bigger in an instant. Thereby, making the game even easier for you.

What's the average attendance setting in the league setup?

What's your league per game average attendance set at? What's the average park capacity in your league?

Funny, I have a team playing less than .300 ball averaging 35000 fans a game. Default 2012 quickstart, using the Twins.

I didn't know that there were 35,000 Twins fans.
