Stadiums shouldn't change for human owned teams

[jcbarr]

I don't know about anyone else but when I am playing a historical simulation I can't stand this. I understand why this was put in, because the CPU owned teams can't be counted on to build a new stadium or even to upgrade the one they have at all.

The thing that irritates me about it is that this should be the responsibility of the human owner. I should have to upgrade my own stadium to keep up with the attendance race.

Even worse than that is when you build a new stadium and upgrade everything, you add seats and then in three years the stadium changes and is worse than what you just built. Now you are out of that money that you paid to build it and you don't get the benefits from it anymore either.

maybe have a popup like the move feature :)

That would be great and then I can actually choose if that is what I want to do or not rather than just looking in my stadium info and seeing that I can no longer seat 65000 people.

Would help if there was a budget allocation for stadium building/financing. The AI could be helped a bit by "public financing" if it didn't make its goals, but the AI should attempt to target an appropriate reserve for stadiums. In historical years it would act as part of the profitibility goal [(new stadium cost/x years between stadiums)=operating cash held back]
and in future years it would act as a cash sink, with stadiums being triggered when the "stadium fund" got high enough. Teams that were unable to reserve much for new stadiums would probably allocate to renovations in an effort to increase attendance and meet reserves in the future.
