Stadium Capacity Upgrades should grant a % performance bonus like upgrading the pitch does

The idea is very simple, sports & crowd psychology.

Larger crowds who make more noise when cheering on their teams can have a positive effect on players on the field.

What do you think?

I understand what you mean, sounds logic as well and is mentioned before.

The 3 stadium upgrade options are now like: Money,training or game+ instead of combination.

Thanks! glad you like the idea! - I did not know the idea had been mentioned before though lol

I first played this game about 15 ish years ago when I was a teenager, and I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I think I remember that upgrading the pitch, used to also reduce the risk of injury to players?

If so, the devs could re-implement this perhaps?

And then in addition, perhaps upgrading training facilities should also reduce training time by like 30 minutes - 1hr or something?

Then it's like:
capacity = more ticket sales & performance boost
Pitch = Performance boost & reduced risk of injury
Training = % boost for training & reduced training time

And then if needs be, to keep balance, the cost of each could be increased a little to make players have to choose their upgrade strategies wisely

What do you think?

(Additional option is that the 2nd bonuses only come into play once you reach level 3 upgrades, but then I would recommend reducing the amount of steps between level 2 - 3)

Or another option could be:

Less steps to achieve level 3 stadium upgrades but while keeping the current bonuses the same.

Add a level 4 which grants the following:

capacity = more ticket sales & performance boost

Pitch = Performance boost & reduced risk of injury

Training = 75%/100% boost for all training types (including friendlies) & reduced individual training time &/or increased effectiveness for team training (camps & secret training boost).... Could even make it user choice between reduced individual training time or increased camp & secret training effectiveness.

Or another option could be:

Less steps to achieve level 3 stadium upgrades and Add a level 4

And split additional bonuses between level 3 & 4 as per below ideas

Change capacity to "Stadium" in general (to account for staff facilities) and then

Level 3 = performance boost (crowd/player psychology as above) & More ticket sales & Increased revenue from stadium sponsors
Level 4 = Performance boost & More ticket sales & Reduced time for staff functions (Doctor, Lawyer, Scout, Analyst)

Pitch:

Level 3 = Performance Boost & installation of pitch side advertising for increased revenue from advertisers (making stadium sponsors different from pitch-side advertisers)
Level 4 = Performance boost & reduced risk of injury & increased revenue from pitch-side advertisers.

Training

Level 3 = 75% boost for all training types (including friendlies) & Reduced Player Fatigue
Level 4 = 100% boost for all training types & and then one of the following (could be user choice)
Reduced individual player training time
Increased effectiveness for team training (camps & secret training boost)
Or both of them included
