Ballpark capacity last season was 36k, which seemed to work out about right, with an average attendance of 34k and a decent number of sellouts. Am thinking I need to increase this, but anyone have thoughts on how high to go? My conservative initial guess (literally a ballpark figure:) ) is to go up to 40k, but I'd love to hear what others would do/recommend.

Will give you a good idea. Maintenance costs were reduced in recent memory, so its better to err a little big than a little small. I think 40k is about right for III, but definitely double-check last season's draw.

As a sanity check, the manual also happens to recommend ~40000 seats at your league level. Updated Tuesday, August 25 2015 @ 11:58:47 am PDT
