There is still a "cap" of 20k for arenas.

I charge the maximum price and I've had 12000 people in my bleachers (capacity) in every game for as long as I can remember. It'll be worth it for my team.

If you follow the news and the forums you would know that arena attendance cap's out near 20k. You can build 40k arena but about 20k will be filled. Nomatter what you do. It was implemented to keep teams from building extremly big arenas -> thus making it impossible for someone to ever catch up.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Before the expansion,he has a 14k arena.When the work will be finished,he will have a 26k arenas,nearly the level of the cap
So,he can do this kind of expansion,It should be better if he makes it gradually,but he can do it

While I certainly think an expansion was worth it for you, I feel like you should have done some investigating before going hog wild here. While Kukoc may not have it down exactly, his interpretation of the arena cap is pretty close to the truth.

There is a cap on ticket sales - it is not a hard cap, though. It is a soft cap. So by a certain interpretation the expansion will not hurt you, going up to 27,525 (mostly on bleacher seats) was a bit of overkill. You probably could have spent about the same amount of money on your expansion, with a slightly different configuration, and you would have done better.

personnally i wouldn't use so much cheap places for reaching the cap, and more then 21.5k people are very ahrd to get - and this will hurt the income it is really superior to get close to the 20k from below not from above.

The problem is not to fill the places,but the fact that the bleachers are much more dipendant than the other sectors of the arena from the results.So,with a series ofloss,he will have few incomes
I did't wrote that he made the expansion in the right way,I only said that I don't think that with that kind of palace he will have problem with the arena cap,also if he will go beyond over 20k seats in the arena

and i tell you that even with succes you will struggle with the cap, and when you make it that cheap he will elarn fewer money then when he stays with his old configuration.

It don't make sense to go much over 20k seats, especially when you gpot more flexible with the Po in the next season(maybe) because this was the only time in the year where you get with normal prices more then 20k visitors(if you raise then to an ok level you will probadly get more, then using the 26k+ seats).
