How accurate are these estimates on the time it takes to complete expansions?

I started the expansion on 6/18, and it estimated 8 days to complete.

Since then, 6+ days have passed, and it still estimates 6 days to complete (In fact, it has been stuck at 6 days for the past few days.)

At this rate, it has taken 6 days to do ~25% of the work, and it would take ~24 days to do 100% of the work, and by then, I would have lost money from both potential regular season and playoff ticket sales.

I'm only building 510 seats. At this rate, unless an earthquake has destroyed the seats, the workers are making a grand total of 21.25 seats per day...

for 8 days i would normally count 10-12 days to finish, your start is pretty slow which means you had bad luck.

Normally those estimates are to optimistic instead of realistic, but sometimes they even finish before there time.

I once had an estimate for 8 days. It took 4 days to drop down to 7 days estimate, but then it dropped 2 "days" each day.

I have around 95-99% of mu stadium capacity the last games. I'm going to be promoted so hopefully there will some new fans. What would be better slightly increase the arena and let the prices stay the same or higher the prices and don't make the arena bigger.

You should probably do both.

Both, but if you need to prioritize, change the ticket prices. If you need to focus on buying better players, upgrade ticket prices. If money is not an issue, then do both.

You have so much leeway in your ticket prices that you should increase the ticket prices by a lot to take advantage of the popularity boost. Then, as you increase the size of your arena, you can adjust the prices.

I think prices could be raised maybe a little... but for a D4 team, I think his prices are basically good. I would suggest to mainly expand.

You would know better than I. It's hard for me to judge because we have so few teams in India.
