When you begin in BT, you start off with a ground that can hold 6,500 spectators.
HOW BIG SHOULD I BUILD MY STADIUM?
Suggestions have put the optimum ground capacity at 16-18 x (number of club members) if your team is performing well. If you are playing against bots then you can safely increase your stadium up to 20x your number of club members.
The arena should be built using the following percentages for the 4 seating types:
| Type | % of Total Stadium Capacity |
| Standing Room | 45% |
| Uncovered Seats | 40% |
| Covered Seats | 11% |
| Members Seats | 4% |
The weather does influence the crowd numbers (eg. in rainy weather, the crowd prefer to sit under cover), so the ratios above are not perfect – but over time they still seem to fit well.
STADIUM UPGRADE COSTS
When building new seats, there is a fixed cost of £20,000 that will be charged irrespective of how much work is being done.
It generally costs around £150k to add an extra 5000 seats to your arena.
Building costs are as follows:
| Type | Building Cost per seat |
| Standing Room | £15.00 |
| Uncovered Seats | £25.00 |
| Covered Seats | £30.00 |
| Members Seats | £100.00 |
STADIUM MAINTENANCE COSTS
You pay stadium maintenance fees each week – the amount you pay is determined by how big your stadium is (ie. how many of each type of seat).
Maintenance costs are as follows:
| Type | Weekly Maintenance Cost per seat |
| Standing Room | £1.00 |
| Uncovered Seats | £1.60 |
| Covered Seats | £2.20 |
| Members Seats | £5.00 |
MATCH INCOME FROM YOUR STADIUM
You receive income from people attending your matches. The amount you receive depends on how many people show up, and where they sit!
Match income is as follows:
| Type | Income amount per attendee |
| Standing Room | £5.00 |
| Uncovered Seats | £7.50 |
| Covered Seats | £10.00 |
| Members Seats | £25.00 |
