I just approved a 58 day expansion of my stadium to add 13000 bleacher seats and 150 courtside seats, I was wondering if anyone had added more seats at one time than I just did.

yes :) I believe rucker or tall blacks had a 70 day expansion running, with more expensive seats(and the number is counted per seat, not cost)

Pretty pointless construction to be honest. Half of those seats will never be filled.

There is still a "cap" of 20k for arenas.

I charge the maximum price and I've had 12000 people in my bleachers (capacity) in every game for as long as I can remember. It'll be worth it for my team.

If you follow the news and the forums you would know that arena attendance cap's out near 20k. You can build 40k arena but about 20k will be filled. Nomatter what you do. It was implemented to keep teams from building extremly big arenas -> thus making it impossible for someone to ever catch up.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Before the expansion,he has a 14k arena.When the work will be finished,he will have a 26k arenas,nearly the level of the cap
So,he can do this kind of expansion,It should be better if he makes it gradually,but he can do it

While I certainly think an expansion was worth it for you, I feel like you should have done some investigating before going hog wild here. While Kukoc may not have it down exactly, his interpretation of the arena cap is pretty close to the truth.

There is a cap on ticket sales - it is not a hard cap, though. It is a soft cap. So by a certain interpretation the expansion will not hurt you, going up to 27,525 (mostly on bleacher seats) was a bit of overkill. You probably could have spent about the same amount of money on your expansion, with a slightly different configuration, and you would have done better.
