Has anybody ever been able to expand their arena, i always try to but the button isnt available, and i'm told that my average attendance is no way near close enough to consider expansion, how can i increase the attendances so that i can improve my stadium? Honda center aint that big, and i would love to expand it.

the only way to get more people to watch your games is to win them.
and there are alot of stadiums that arent owned by the team and those will never be expanded.

i see, maybe that's why i can't expand, i am doing really well in the league, won my conference, stanley cup finalists 3 times, winners 1nce, so i don't think that is the reason, the ducks musn't own their stadium, ill change it so i can update it, thanks alot.

Most of the arenas in the game can't get expanded even if the team owns the arena.
It is actually pretty realistic IMHO, as unlike outdoor football stadiums, you can't just add more stands inside a fixed size building. IRL most teams build completely new arenas instead.

you're right, oh well, thanks alot for all y'all help, i know that you can add new arenas into the extra config file, as new jersey and cardiff move when we're into the game. thanks alot

It would be nice to actually have your board decide on building a new stadium, but that just isn't part of the game.
I feel that if they ever come out with EHM again, they will have plenty of things to think about when making the new version.

will this be hard-coded so that the arenas dont change, or can it be altered? i wud also hav a lot of recommendations if they were to make the a new game, but it's a very big IF!

I don't know the answer about it being hard coded into the game, but I would guess that it probably is on account of certain things.
I mean, they can't technically make things happen if they don't get the license to do it, you know?

most stadiums are unlicensed so I doubt they'd be banned from allowing arena expansion

You can change the max expansion of arenas with the editor.
Most are set to allready be at max - which is why they can't expand further in the game.

Thanks for the quick tip, ElQuapo.
I have no use for it myself, but I am sure that others will if they read this thread.
