Retirees/Player Contract Option decisions

Don't we also have additional costs for stadium maintenance starting this year?

Yes, and based in that grrrrr chart found in the financial changes post, I believe for most teams it is $2.5mil taken out of your bonus funds account (which is whatever cash you had > $20mil at end of season). So you don't take that money out of the $20mil from what's left in your in-game finances. I think the correct way to read the chart, for instance the second line is:

$2.5m per year for a stadium 10-19 years old, for a total "decade" cost of $25m.

I think we are starting from 1995 as far as stadium age goes, unless a team relocated since then.

Unless things have changed, or I am reading it wrong.

Interesting - thanks for the feedback. Seems strange that it would come out of the bonus account as theoretically, that account could be empty in 5-10 years time for some teams, but I'm not complaining.

I also have no idea if my team has relocated before my time....

No, your team has not relocated.

I imagine the Stadium maintenance thing could be adjusted if/when teams reserves (bonus) funds start to dry up. I've never been a fan of the stadium maintenance concept.
