In this case, you are asked to predict the revenue from sales of season tickets, single game tickets, and concession items for a single season. In order to make predictions, you need to develop a linear regression model, and make assumptions on the schedule (including the number of home games in total, the number of conference games, and the number of weekend games).

Please use the following questions to guide your preparation of the case:

1. Assume Spark's projection for the team's win percentage for the upcoming season is 50%, provide a total revenue forecasting for the season. Please also assume only the minimum number of home games will be played - eight conference games, eight non-conference games, each eight split evenly between weekends and weekdays.
2. Following Question 1's instructions, but use a random win percentage, with each of the win percentages of the four recent seasons equally likely to occur in the upcoming season.
3. How accurate are your predictions based on the standard errors of the predicted numbers (hint: use simulation)?
