Stadium Fund

[Riverman]

Three questions

Are we allowed to make our stadium fund contributions now? Can we make our modifications now? What do we do with the stadium modification worksheet once we have filled it out?

Thanks

You have to have cash to make contributions... you're way in the red.

I believe that you misunderstand the Team Financial Report. The big negative number in the middle column is my beginning cash adjusted for cash transactions that ocurred during the year. In my case, I sent significant cash to Washington in the Robbins deal and a good bit to Dallas in the Pateshall deal. My current balance is the $8.45 million balance shown at the bottom of the page.

You can't transfer money or submit stadium plans until we enter the off-season. This won't happen until we upgrade to OOTP X.

Cash is factored into your new balance for next season and yours is in the red. I don't have the spreadsheet here, but I'm fairly certain that you are one of the teams.

Where can we find these numbers?

I get my number from the link section of my team home page - $8,453,187. I don't see at all where Clay's number comes from.

Davenport Brawlers --> Front Office (tab) --> Starting Balance = -$18,287,452

Exactly, that is the 1986 ending cash balance which Andrew edits for award money and cash in/out in trades and money transferred to the stadium fund. The reason mine is negative is that I sent $23 million (I think) in the trades with Dallas and Washington. My current balance is $8,453,187 which is shown both on the Team Financial Report reached from the link section of my home page and on the Finances tab of the Front Office page in game.

I'm just telling you what the spreadsheet that we use every off-season is telling me. If the numbers are wrong, Andrew will fix them before he enters them in game. But, the numbers I have right now show you 14 million in the red.

FYI - Riverman - There may have been some issues with my spreadsheet. Please ignore my numbers earlier in the thread. I don't know what your number is going to be, but I know that one isn't right.

OK, thanks.

I am not sure what could be wrong with the in-game number that I always use, and accords with my "back of the envelope" calculation. I'll appreciate it if you keep me posted once you figure out what happened.
