Stadium
In the beginning, each club has a small stadium with a capacity of 400 spectators with benches in all sectors. The stadium has 8 sectors marked A through H. You can build a different type of stand in each sector with different accessories. The table below shows the overview of the types of stands and their capacities and available accessories:

You can build various accessories on each type of stand. Snack bars and restaurants draw more people to the stadium. Fan shops increase the revenues from the souvenir sales. VIP lounges can be leased and they bring extra income to the club. Press centers allow journalists to make reports from the matches, which increases the motivation of the players and therefore their performance. Some types of accessories can only be built on the more expensive stands. If you want to build a better type of a stand, you first need to demolish all the accessories of the current stand and then the stand itself. After demolition, you will get a refund of 50% of the value of the stand and its accessories.
Only then you will be able to build a new stand. Warning! During the construction works, this sector will have zero attendance.
Other stadium upgrades include car park, scoreboard, floodlights and the quality of the pitch can also be improved. All of these improvements help increase the attendance.
Every level of car park represents 2,000 parking spots. You can build a maximum of 10,000 parking spots.

Attendance
The following factors influence the attendance:
- Stadium capacity
- Level of stands
- Stand accessories (mainly refreshments)
- Level of scoreboard
- Pitch quality
- Level of floodlights
- Number of parking spots
- Position of your team in the league standings
- Position of the opponent in the league standings
- League level
- Overall team rating
- Popularity of your and opponent's players
- Derby (match between teams from the same region)
If you play a league match (or part of it) on very low or low match importance and you don't win, the fans will remember that your team's effort was weak and they might not be willing to attend your next home league match. The attendance drop will be bigger if you play on very low and smaller if you play on low importance. Also the portion of the match that you play on low or very low will be taken into account. If you win, the importance that you used will have no effect on the attendance of the following match. Also, if your team is much weaker than the opponent, your fans will forgive you even if you play on very low and lose.
