How can I increase Market Size?

Does anyone know how to increase my teams market size other than editing the financial info? Would lowering my ticket prices so I get more sellouts help? Would that increase my fan interest at least?

I have the second highest attendance in the league but the worst media revenue and I have a large stadium so I don't have many sell outs. Should I think about removing seats from the stadium to increase demand? The OOTP financial model never seems to work as I "think" it should so I'm hesitant to adjust any of the financial stuff for my team for fear that I'll run the organization into the ground unknowingly.

I interpret market size as the number of people who live in your team's metropolitan area. So if the game works like real life, there would nothing you could do to increase the population of your team's area. I remember once in an earlier version getting a message saying my team's market size had increased, but I have no idea why. Maybe my team was so bad the fans stayed home and enjoyed other activities and the city experienced a baby boom.

Of course, in real life, the teams that win more and get more media coverage, sell more merchandise around the country. I sure there are a lot of people wearing Yankee hats who have never been within 1,000 miles of New York. However, I doubt that the game takes that into account.

Your question also made me wonder if there is anything you can do to affect team loyalty? I don't think I've ever seen it change.

My impression is that it is loosely tied to winning with a lot of luck thrown in. But I'm not an expert on the area.

Yeah, that was pretty much what I thought but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks.
