175K is max contract, I think, and if you have all 55 players with that, that;s 962.5K in total salary, not including luxury tax. I think a Pee-Wee team maxes our their earnings around 550K, meaning you will run out of money around mid-season, but won't be able to do anything about it since Pee-Wee doesn't allow contract renegotiations.


Your math is off by a factor of 10

I meant in terms of overall money. What you said makes sense, though. I guess i was looking for someone with experience who has a good sense (from their experience) of what will keep our money out of the red. I understand that revenue is variable (to a degree) and there's no exact answer. From those of you with experience, how much revenue did you bring in with a fairly average to good team?


You'll start with the $1.5M before ticket sales since we don't pay a signing bonus anymore. Most the tickets will sell out early at the league minimum fan support for around 2 million and probably 2.6M ish total as long as you don't lose a bunch of early games. You'll get ~$800k+ in total from 8 home games conscessions. Giving you around $5M on the season excluding playoff revenue.

Well I guess fan support is irrelevant since we can't set ticket prices but your club seats will go as season tickets with a 20% discount and a chunk of the bleachers as well.

EDIT: K well mine was $2.9M+ in tickets giving me around $5.2M in total for last season. We had a #1 seed through three playoff games and made another $2M+ off three games which, with a little foresight, could have been partially spent on contracts as well. The problem is what seed you get and how deep that run is tho if you want to try and factor in playoff $$$.

Every player with a max contract is certainly a bad idea. You can change the contract before they start paying out or you can be our guinnea pig to know what day it does in fact get taken
