Is there any way there can be an additional incentive for winning the Super Bowl, like an certain amount of money for the winning team?

Hey I dunno if you ever tried this, I have and it works especially well to gather more bucks.

Once the playoffs hit (of course expecting that you're in them and have some home games), raise your ticket prices. I leave my ticket prices at regular season between $25-35 each. Once the playoffs hit they are at $65 for the playoffs until the Super Bowl and once you're there, and should you have the best record going in, you get the gate for the game, I raise those tickets to $80-90. In the playoffs, unless you go too nuts on prices, you'll sell out every time PLUS!!! The ticket double from what they were in regular season, so You're raking in $130-$180 a ticket! Huge amounts of profit to go into your Cash...

Can you guys confirm or deny that the "home team" actually gets the gate receipts for the Super Bowl ticket sales?

I thought I programmed this money to go to the league as I believe that's what the NFL does, but I may have goofed.

Thanks,

Clay,

I just took the Rams in a new season and signed every big free agent out there to bolster the team... simulated the entire season. Went 15-1, and had the best record in the league.

The Super Bowl tickets I set at $80.00 (or $160.00 doubled), at 43,391 attendance the sales were $6,942,560.

So yeah the ticket money goes to the team. It boosted my Sales per game by a ton.

Same thing here, I took the 49ers to the Super Bowl 3 years in a row, and I recevied a ton of cash for it, I was the home team all 3 times.

Yep. I did it the easyway, just looking at ticket revenue for the two superbowl teams before the game, and then again afterward, indeed the "home" team recieves the dough.
