Park size did not change over the course of the sim. Sizes ranged from 4100 to 6300. I use the standard 16 cities that were the real teams of 1956, but starting the game in 1901. I see in 1999 average attendance is supposed to be 31722, but the parks never grew. Consequently, gate revenue was low, but multiplying avg attendance by avg ticket price (from the league setup rules page ), yields only about $400,000 which is enough for 1.4 players at minimum cost. Fan interest ranged from 40-80 with fan modifier mostly zero or negative (as much as -23). Only 1 team had a positive modifier. I know I started the sim with NY with market size 20 but it was down to 16. All other market sizes were in the 4-8 range, with Baltimore having size 1. I was trying to sim historical finances in a fictional setting.
