Something like $182,000. However, in the manual it says that the road team collects no revenue for road games? Am I remembering incorrectly, or has this been changed in the game but not updated in the manual? | ||

I'll just have to wait until the next league road game to check for sure. It is annoying that I can't look back at all the financial transactions throughout the course of a season. Just like the schedule and transactions, there needs to be a way to view all of your finances from the current season. |

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5194 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends | Ah. I see. I don't think you need to wait. I am quite certain you get no part of the road gate. The number you posted is consistent with what you would receive as 1/2 the gate from a cup game with ~26k attendance. (For cross reference with your calculations: my estimates for III is that you can run around a 45 million dollar payroll and break even - that was before the reduced stadium maintenance, and excludes taxes). A word of warning for newer managers: the finances screen is very scary this time of the season. Expenses are constant - a horizontal line through the season. Income is not - kind of Boltzman shaped. Things look bad for a while, but most teams will have a "Black Friday" update towards the end of the season. |

Slug5373 Joined: 12/23/2014 Posts: 376 Inactive | Yeah, I figured that out last season. It was then that I put two and two together with the low ticket incomes from spring training and the decreasing finances. I'm expecting to break even or lose just a little bit this year. My player and minor league salaries are around 50 million. |
