Ya the overall score has been 4.5-5 balls for most of this season. Oh well I wasn't sure if there was a logical explanation but perhaps it is just one of those random factors in BB.

My attendance has gone steadily downhill all season, even though I'm 16-5 and in 2nd place in my conference. I know a lot goes into it - including random mood of fans - but I wish it was more heavily weighted toward wins and losses, like real life.

I keep hearing advice to expand expand expand the arena, but I basically still have the same 5,000 fans that came on day one. Maybe I'll install hot tubs where all these empty seats are.

You are allowed to lower prices to fill more seats.

I realize that, but I have the same prices that drew about 8,000 earlier in the season. After winning my last 8 games the attendance has dropped to the 5,000s.

You've been playing worse opponents, that's a big factor too. People rather see a tight game versus another top team. You've had bad luck with your schedule as you played strong opponents on the road, which is harder and doesn't give you the benefit of more attendance at home. I'm pretty sure your upcoming TV game against the nr 1 will draw a lot more fans.

Also, because your prices are relatively high, any effect that influence attendance is exaggerated.

There has to be some sort of random factor involve too. Unless there is something I am missing in my attendance drop over the last two games.

I also wonder if there is a penalty in winning games, in that the higher you are in the standings, the "lesser" all your opponents are. If you're #8 every opponent is tough, but if you're #1 your fans aren't interested in playing dinky #4. I guess that's somewhat offset by getting good marks for winning in your fan survey, but not enough it seems.
