My opponent today had back to back games of higher attendance than I've had all season despite the fact that my mood has been about 20 points higher all year. I can't make any sense of it.

Maybe it was just me, but somewhere in '16 + '17 seasons I moved up attendance to 50,000 for division 5 and 6 and eventually made 100M (Team Balance)... of course, I adjusted to roughly 40K until I settled for 35K for the last several seasons in division 4. Since the changes, I've struggled to consistently reach the max attendance and it stinks that series are heavily stacked away or home. I'm getting my first huge payout this week with 6/7 days at home. What bugs me the most is that my team has 140 fan mood, just got a promotion last season, is playing competitive baseball and somehow we can't fill 38K?!? What do I need to do, make every home game bobblehead day to get 'em to come? I'll do it! Updated Saturday, April 18 2015 @ 6:21:15 pm PDT Updated Saturday, April 18 2015 @ 6:23:21 pm PDT

For instance, my club in six went from 13k to 23k. Granted, mood went from 76 (60 wins) to around 120 (90+ avg) today. My division six stadium is 24,500 and in league I'm doing around 23k (no league sellouts) if this helps anyone trying to figure out where to set seating from the lowest level. If you go with the 5k increase for each level, like in the manual, then maybe you would start at 19-23k and work up from there.
