Attendance in Franchise?

[hoosiers24]

Dont know if this is posted anywhere or if there is a current one floating around but just wondering how to fix attendance. I dont play as a big market team such as yanks phillies soxs so that may be why my attendance is always down..no matter my promotions or even if i have a nice starting pitcher pitching that day..is there anyway around this?? i know lower teams dont always sell out but id like to see some more fans in the seats

What about promotions?

I've found that promotions bring in attendance but if you expect to sell out every homeless game you won't be happy.

Promos on week days help, mix it it with promos for big weekend series also help.

In my test franchise with the Nats, I was hosting the 13-1 Marlins for a Monday series finale had a promo got my first sellout since opening day at home.

Well not sure what team you're using but I know when I did my marlins franchise last year there were games late in the first year I was only getting like 6000 people into the stadium . Granted the team was pretty bad but the following year I dropped ticket prices a lot, along with parking and would throw out free ticket nights a lot and that really seemed to help with attendance until the team got to around 500 and started winning

That was what i was gunna mention....lower ur ticket prices as low as possible (lowest green threshold), lower your food, merchandise to the lowest green threshold as well
