Total capacity: 20000

Terraces: 12600
Basic seating: 5000
Seats under roof: 2000
Seats in VIP boxes: 400

Supporter Club: 1115 members

And I expect to go undefeated this year. Should I expand? How much? Any insight would be great...yep

That place is way too small for you. Go for 30x supporters. I saw it worked out once, where if you fill up your stadium twice in a season, the stadium effectively pays for itself for the whole year. That was before the revenue bump too, so it'd be something less than 2 now. I'm not going to number crunch, because I'm on Spring Break, but I would be shocked to find the above disputed.

Expand. It's fun, it helps the economy, and it makes you feel good. A good season expected, consistantly high support, large supporter increases, no reason not to go 30x for you.

I'm building 24,000 with 766 supporters as of this morning because I know I'll keep winning and have 802 supporters on the day the stadium hosts my first game.

Also, the 2% VIP is bad advice from the arena sizer. There's a recent thread here that shows 2.7% to 2.8% is the low end. Myself, I went 3% because I will keep growing and be able to fill all those seats. If I'm wrong, my next expansion will be a tad cheaper.

iceberg,

If you are playing a decently ranked team and your supporters are in a good mood, and the weather is good you can get about 30 - 35 times the nubmer of supporters show up for your games. (AKA - 33-38k fans). If you win all year you should add about 300 more supporters. I'd consider doubling your stadium size.
