Arena Question

[samluks]

0 - 10000 = Small Sized Arena
10001 - 50,000 = Medium Sized Arena
50,001 - 100,000 = Large Sized Arena

If not, how would you break down the three sizes?

Thanks,

Sam

You might only go up to 40,000 for medium and large size at 40,000 to 100,000....other than that, I am in pretty much agreement. That is if you meant it to be up to 10,000 for small sized arenas.

That seems reasonable to me, if you are breaking it into only 3 size categories.

I might break it down and clarify it a little further:

Tiny (high school gyms and other tiny dinky locations small indys run in)

Small (Civic Centers and the like - something a decent level indy like a developmental territory would run in)

Medium (normal basketball/hockey arena where most large promotions like WWE or WCW would run most shows of their shows)

Large (football stadiums and other venues larger than an arena)

Not sure what size a TV studio show like WCW Saturday Night or WCW Pro falls into, nor how big the TNA Impact Zone is. That would be something to take into consideration when determining a seperation point between Tiny vs Small and Small vs Medium.

Well I tell you what. I forgot to mention why I am asking.

I am editing the arena files in the arena plugin and it seams that these are my choices.

But some (most) of the arenas listed are way off.

So I am trying to get a 'rough guesstimate' as to how to put these when I get done.

So far I have edited the current file to proper capitalization and added a few smaller Canadian and Japanese arena's. They seem to be sports complexes and multi-purpose arena's (hockey, gymnastics, etc.)

So, over the next few days, I will be adding more, but wanted it to be semi-realistic when I am done adding the arena, in terms of my three choices.

Thanks for your input. I may adjust to that, as it would open up a few more arena's in my quest for a 'well rounded update. lol

Thanks again,

Sam,

That would be great if you updated the Arenas. Here is the way I would break it down

Small Indy- High School Gyms, Knights of Columbs Halls, Churches
Capacity:0-500 people

Large Indy Show- Ballrooms, convention centers ext- Capacity 500-3,000

Then you have your National company B Level shows which is on the same plate at the Impact Zone and things like that.
Capacity 1,000-6,000

Medium size national promotion- To me this is the Basketball/Hockey arenas capacity is around 12K-22K

Large Arenas would be the dome or baseball stadiums
40-70K

Ok, so I am still working on this.

Here is my next question to you guys and gals:
Do you think the Arnea Plugin will allow one to break the arean 'listing'?

Small Indy : 0 - 500 people
Large Indy Show : 501 - 3,000
Small National : 3,001 - 6,000
Medium National : 6,001 - 22,000
Large National : 40,000 - 70,000

Also, There are a few changes that I would like to see made in the coding, but I am thinking it is was 'hard coded' the way it was. By that, I mean coded and then made into the .exe so that it could not be modified..... correct?

As for the first part, I will try it out later this week on a test file to see if it works, by breaking it down.

Any help on 'tinkering the code' would be awesome, as I am not into coding as I used to be, and I don't even remeber what Ryan used to make his plugins with any more.

Nope. Small, Medium and Large are my only options. Anything else sends the plugin into 'gibberish mode' and freezes up the program.

So for the purpose of this program, I guess I will go with the following:

0 to 10000 = Small Sized Arena
10001 to 50,000 = Medium Sized Arena
50,001 and more = Large Sized Arena

I may chance the 'countries' around a bit, just to add others, that are not built in by default.
