Subject: Stadium Upgrade

"Does that mean upgrading all of your benches to seats would force your bench fans to buy seats? And thus not affect your attendance?"

That's the theory I operate under. I'm working to have nothing but benches in the ends and seats everywhere else. Theoretically, "under roof" would be an "upgrade," as well.

Fine. 2500 seats additional, at $8.75 each. That means an additional $21,875 in income from the roof. The roof cost $400k. That means you need to sell 2500 extra seats for 18 matches to BREAK EVEN.

Wheee.

And I did, I broke even in B-league. On a normal sunny day, the roof also gives you more people to show up (in my case 2000 more) I guess it's a shade factor also.

Still takes 18 home matches even if you get 2000 extra each game. That's 2.1875 seasons of games. In 2 seasons, I could turn a $400k trainee into more than $1 million. So in the time roof-people break even, I earn $600k profit (minimum).

But, once you have all the trainees you can effectively manage, and you still have some cash sitting there, then would you consider it?

Nope. I'd save the $400k to put towards a better trainee as soon as I need one. And I turn over trainees pretty quickly. If they won't start for me, they get sold.

that is my philosphy too

I agree that it is overly expensive to build a roof. But I think eventually I will probably build some more roofs. I'll probably come home from the bar one night and build roofs all round.

Given your babble the last time you were drunk and typed stuff on here, you'll probably find a way to build several roofs. On the same side of your stadium. And cause the stadium to collapse in a heap of rubble. Which you'll find strangely attractive in your beer-goggled daze, and which you'll try to ask out on a date. And, surprisingly, you'll get a "yes," and then later, you'll get lucky. And a bit bruised from the concrete bits.

I have never made love to concrete.... Maybe if I used some lotion for the lubrication.

I don't even think that would do you much good...

Then all is lost.

speak for yourselves, my nicname is jack hammer

Now THIS is quality off-topic chatter, baby!

Sparks fly when fro gets his groove on.
