If realism was the only design principle a NBBA team (and similarly first league teams) would average 10-15-20k supporters per game, while a Div II would average maybe 1000 and a Div. III would have friends and family, so promoting from a division to another would be impossible, and promoted teams would relegate right away.


I guess I'm wondering what a Div. II team translates to in real life then?

Seems like a lot of college teams draw quite well....and you ever been to a high school game in Indiana or the inner city?

You can rest assured that a Div. III draws a few hundred people *at best*.


Millwall's a D.III team in English soccer, and they drew 9200 a game last year.

Sure, probably 8000 of those were police and military, given the reputation of the denizens of the Den, but still.

You're right. The figures in soccer are higher. That doesn't necessarily affect my point about realism, but you're right.



I'll give you that attendance figures should be lower for basketball, but how much is the question.
