Ok, do attendances improve for winning teams and decrease for losing teams? It does not seem to be the case; I manage the Florida team to a World Series in 2001 and averaged around 31,000 fans at -20% ticket price, the next year(2002) I won 110 games and went to the NLCS, and the average was again around 31,000 at -10% ticket price, This year after winning 110 games and going to the NLCS my team is averaging around 28,000 fans a game at -10% ticket price. No improvement at all. While other big market teams have been bad those three years and they are still drawing 40,000+ a game with +20% or +30% ticket price. How am I suppose to keep my young and talented team if my profits don't improve(or very, very, very slowly.)?

That's interesting...

Attendence usually improves a significant amount when a team has a great season, especially a smaller market.

Anyone else have experience with this situation?

A small market team will improve their attendace if they keep it up for 4 or 5 years, but if once they stink again, their fans stink together, in just single year. But for a large market team, if they stink for over 5 years, their fans stinks, but once they have a good team for a year, they r back in the game.
