Panel data across 8 years for the Football Championship Subdivision are used to estimate regular season game‐day percent of capacity regression equations. Higher ticket prices reduce attendance (elasticity of −1.9). Better team performance, in the short and intermediate terms, and traditional rivalries increase percent of capacity used. Poor weather and higher travel costs decrease it. Fan interest wanes as a season progresses, but this is offset as a team wins more games. Games played on Saturdays, played against conference opponents, or played by teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision increase stadium utilization. Results provide some evidence for the uncertainty of outcome hypothesis. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This study utilizes a Post Keynesian theoretical model of investment behavior and firm-specific data from Brazilian firms to examine the role that sales, sales growth, financing costs, and internal cash flow play in the investment decisions of firms. In a broad sense, our results are similar to earlier studies that have found some inconsistencies in the relationship between either sales or cash flow and firm investment. Our study suggests even a model based on the Keynesian investment theory will not accurately predict firm behavior in chaotic economic and financial conditions. However, it can provide a foundation for such decisions.
