I noticed that Sebastian mentioned that the arena field in the schedule was editable - a pretty cool feature by the way - which got me thinking about arena creation and the financials side of the game. I would really love to get an update about that side of things.

To illustrate - my intent is to start a league back in 47-48 (which I understand is the first historical year available) but with an 8 team NHL not six and progress the teams from there.

It would be cool to be able to move teams into newer arenas or even replicate the problems the Rangers had when their playoff dates conflicted with dates that the circus was in MSG and they had to play home games in Toronto.

How will arena creation work? Will we simply plug in a name and a seating capacity much like OOTP. Or will we be able to determine how many luxury seats versus cheap seats there will be? I love OOTP but I've always wished there was more to do on the stadium building side of things and hope that FHM has some cool features in that area.

It would also be great to get an update on how the financial side of things will work. Since I'm planning on operating a team out of Hamilton I'm looking forward to the struggle to keep a small market team going.
