Doing it - 2.5M roughly on new seats. Will be a 14k stadium in 36 days (that wait is going to f'n suck).

For others, who might do something similar in the future...I would recommend not doing it all in one project...Especially if you are currently selling out or coming close, you are leaving money on the table...Do some Arena projects that will take 6 days, so that you can benefit from the new seats in your attendance revenue, and continue to make more and more money as you grow your arena. If you are already maxing out (few do), that's another thing...but in the time this one 36 day project finishes, you could have finished 5 smaller projects along the way and earn more money for each game as your arena grows.

Still got a cool Millionn left. Plenty left for hookers and blow.

Or a real center next season.

Empty seats are like fools gold. Empty seats don't make any baskets or free throws, empty seats don't make any steals or rebounds, empty seats don't make any three's or defend anyone. The money that you spend on empty seats could have been spent on players that do all of those things.

Empty seats built at lower divisions take a greater percentage of your weekly proceeds than the same number of empty seats built at a higher division. Empty seats are definitely, unequivocally fools gold.

To a point, but in general, I disagree. In this game, you need a lot of money and enough weekly finances to compete and make a run at the top league in the USA.

If you don't have an adequately sized arena, you won't have that potential. It limits the salary your roster can hold. So unless you're going to build a full team of uniquely talented, salary-efficient players that will take 7-10 seasons on 3 guys, you will have a hard time financing the salaries.

It's all about being able to have an arena size adequate enough to finance a division winning team at the next league in the promotion line. It would be interesting for someone to run an actual economic analysis on this. Obviously, different leagues have different thresholds, and salaries don't fully encompass talent, but I would be willing to bet there is a significant relationship there.
