My arena is at 8360 right now, but I only sold 6753 tonight, and 7437 the game before. Prices haven't changed, and my team has been performing pretty well. The only thing I can think of is a lost rivalry game, but that shouldn't impact my attendance much, especially not this much. Any thoughts?

Winning TV and rivalry games is very important ,those games will have a very big impact in the next home game for sure.
And I guess this has happened to you,your prices should be oke,except you "' forgot " to win this game .

If I look at your arena ,your bleachers did stay away this game,those fans only like to see that you win games ,if you do they will show up in large numbers.But if you loose a rivalry game ,they are not very happy .

Here you can see the impact on winning a rivalry game ,this has happened to me :
9746 3985 449 45 14225
11540 4297 461 46 16344 (my last home game) + $31000

I went through the same issue this year.

After Won Lost Rivarly Game: 2/25/2014 Outcast: Fury 11000 2500 500 25 14025
After Lost Rivarly Game: 2/15/2014 Rutting Bucks 7436 1310 450 23 9219

My numbers may be a little skewed with the lower attendance game being against a low ranked team and the higher attendance game being against the #1 team, but it does show rivalry games make a huge impact on attendance.

Hmmm, maybe I underestimated that loss. That's extra frustrating, since I lost by 1 in the final seconds of overtime. How long did it take for you attendance to stabilize itself again?

I have won all my TV/rivalry games this season,and Iam on top in the division.
But I have made a big mistake ,by raising my bleachers price with just $1,and Iam paying for that
Thats why my attendance took a drop.
Now I have average 20k less income in home games,because of this mistake,next season it should be allright I guess.

Losing TV/rivalry games, could be also a slight blow for you in the next season,depending how happy your fans are at the end off this season.But I think in your case it should be just a minor thing,cause you are doing pretty well.There are managers when they have to play a rivalry game ,who will play CT if necessary ,just to win this game,so there next home game could be sold-out..,if you loose you will get a drop in attendance for sure.And that could take while before fans will forgive you for that loss...
