niedziela sierpień 2 - 21:04 @Aad you start making a profit as long as you can fill the first 120,000 seats. The reason being that the increased maintenance costs are covered by the increased ticket price. So that's effectively the break even point. Although it would take forever to pay back the construction costs without larger attendances.
It would also make no sense to upgrade if you can't fill stadium 10.
The bigger issue is the loss of interest on the capital after paying the construction costs. If the balance falls to near zero then the break even point is effectively 150,000 to account for the loss of interest.
So in most cases it's best to wait until you have a lot more than the construction costs in order not to lose too much interest.
Edit
In fact, lost in the detritus of some of @Awful's posts he's correct about some aspects.
The return on the investment in the museum (with staff) is more profitable on a percentage basis than the level 11 stadium. The problem is takes far longer to make the same investment in the museum.
Assuming you have 1 staff in the museum and also a construction manager - both at level 10 - it would take nearly 14 years in real time to invest the stadium 11 construction costs in the museum. So good luck with doing that @Awful. :)
