Originally posted by cwrujosh I agree with TSE that 71k is too low. There's no reason that there can't be 300 corners and 300 sidelines, maybe making the total just shy of 80k. 80k for a pro stadium is not unreasonable.
Also, I don't understand how a BBB stadium can be just as big as a pro stadium. That's like saying the Frederick Keys stadium should hold as much as Camden Yards. The higher the league, the bigger the stadium, IMHO.
I can agree with this, but you can't retro that. You'd have to allow increases for ONLY Pro leagues and I'm sure everyone below Pro would cry about it.

And they'd be right to. We already have the advantage of being able to charge more for ticket prices than any league below us. Why should the rich be able to get even richer and make it even more difficult for teams to compete with the teams already in pro leagues? I'm sure this won't be a popular idea up here, but the little guys already get the shaft more than they should.

The real reason it won't go up is that would take too much work for bort to increase the size of the picture so that the whole stadium would fit in the little box.
Agreed, but why should we be given advantages to make it even easier for us to stay here? If we're as good as we believe we are, we shouldn't have a problem playing this game on a move level field, IMO. Between fame, the cost of EQ, higher lvl players for 6 more season (including this one) commanding higher salaries, $ is becoming an even more critical part of a team's ability to succeed.
I sure don't have a problem with bigger stadiums, but think it would be BS if the leagues below us couldn't get them. The way I see it, I was able to earn my way up. I want to earn the right to stay, not have it handed to me.
Originally posted by cwrujosh Earning your way up is impressive, but so is staying here.
I agree, and, if the gutting is ever dealt with, I believe staying will turn into every bit as much of a challenge as getting through 2 leagues to get here was, if not more so.

Of course lower level teams, like us in the USA BBB 9, would complain. We can recruit the same level players to our roster that the Pro League can why not have the stadium to afford them?
Obviously there just aren't enough teams for the talent level to be distributed like it should be. I am pretty sure Bort didn't intend for teams in the BBB to carry an average of level 25+ for players on their roster. Seems to me it defeats the purpose of having all the different level leagues.
