Huge Mistake...My Bad
I gave my Portland Mist franchise a new stadium in 2041. Why not, right? We had won 7 Championships in 22 years, we deserve the best.
Well, I mistyped the seating capacity and didn't check it until the end of July. I had it set at 50! Not 500. Not 5,000. Not 50,000. 50. My gate income was absolutely ruined. I thought I would for sure lose my job (I play GM only) but I survived. However, I now have two new goals from my owner. 1 is attendance related and 1 is profit related. Usually I hate these type of goals, but I lost the team ALOT of money with my mistake. To be fair though. If I could see the empty seats I would have noticed before July Also side note...season ticket sales were down but not gone (18,000). This means season ticket holders couldn't even go to games! |

I did that once with a franchise I moved from Havana to Miami Beach. Typed 20 instead of 20,000 into the seating capacity.

I did this with a new expansion team in my fictional league. The stadium was suppose to have a 49,000 capacity but it only had a 49 capacity. They ended up making $17,000 in ticket revenue instead of $17,000,000. Oops.

I know that OOTP is sandboxy, but here should probably be a minimum seating capacity per level in the entry cell to prevent this type of thing; like 10,000.

Did that once. I was (and you are) so screwed for a bit. It got better.

This thread is chuckle-worthy on several levels:

Yes, I envision Howard Hughes-types. You know, eccentrics who would live full-time in their suites, shunning all outside contact and neglecting personal hygiene. Just so they could concentrate on their fabulous views of the game of Baseball!
[Um, what they would do for five or six months of off-season, and half of the regular season, is problematic. I figure these rich folks would have enough dough to finance their own 24/7/365 in-house league, though.]

That's when you decide to test the limits of ticket pricing. 50,000 seats at $20? More like 50 seats at $20,000!

A bit late -- this is not a bad idea, but not sure how easy it would be to implement. 10,000 might be a good minimum for modern MLB, but there were plenty of venues in the 19th century that seated fewer, and of course you might not want any lower bound for minor league parks.
