Stadiums

Way back in Season 9 I compaired the stadium size of the top 100 clubs in Manta. I had some spare time so I thought I would do it again to see what a difference 6 seasons makes.

Season 15 stadium size

20000 - 2 (Botev Plovdiv, Chaos Shumen)
18800 - 2 (Easyfit Walsall, Kif Villans)
13800 - 2 (High Plains Drifters, Eagle Eyes AFC)
11800 - 1 (Kingriver)
10300 - 7 (Inter Milager, Hornets, Scopio FC*, Noodle FC, Park Rangers, Bulletboys, Liverpool City)
8500 - 1 (Howick United)
6800 - 30 clubs
6350 - 23 clubs
5900 - 18 clubs
5450 - 11 clubs
5000 - 3 (Stonetown, Ghosts AFC, Manchester11)

*Stadium currently under expansion

The top 100 have added an extra 292 corner expansions (450 seats), 20 end expansions (3500 seats) and 5 side expansions (5000 seats). Botev Plovdiv and Chaos Shumen are the only clubs to have started expanding the second teir, totalling 2 second teir corner expansions (1200 seats). All together the top 100 have spent a total of 404,600,000, or approx. 400m to their stadia. Only 3 clubs in the top 100 are yet to expand their stadium.
