First, you'd probably get more responses in the General Discussion forums, but I'll answer it anyway.

No, it doesn't necessarily work that way. There really is no formula that I know of. Just go on the assumption that higher fan interest = higher attendance. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Fan interest is one aspect that determines how many people show up at a given game. Price is a big factor, and position in the standings later in the season is another.

You always want to price your tickets so that you just barely sell out every game. If you have 90 fan interest, $11 tickets will probably sell ~50K tickets. If your stadium is smaller, raise ticket prices until its not a sell out.

If your stadium is bigger, you might make more money at $10 (that is usually the optimal ticket price if stadium capacity isn't a factor).
