Very fast response from Devs when I needed my game transferred to a new phone. I love this game. Yeah, you progress slow, but that's the point of the game.

About the game
How Idle Sports Stadium Tycoon plays
You buy a stadium, buy customers to draw bigger crowds, automate it, and reinvest the ticket money into the next venue. Automating a venue asks for one of the game’s characters at a given level plus some cash; after that it keeps earning while the app is closed, so the game fits into short check-ins. Tapping speeds things up when you want it to. Venues are preset builds that you upgrade and renovate through set levels, not a blank plot with a drag-and-drop editor.
Milestone levels multiply a venue’s income, so the decision each session is which venue to upgrade next. The stadium builder game page explains the three currencies, automation and what carries over when a week ends.
20+ sports, one owner's box
Your first build is Touchdown Center, an American football venue in the town of Champsford. Basketball courts, hockey arenas, baseball, golf, tennis, wrestling, cricket, pickleball, boxing, bowling, swimming, badminton, track, fencing, ping pong, a weightlifting gym and a Grand Prix circuit open as you progress, and the list keeps growing. You own the venues and the business around them, not the teams: there are no formations, transfer windows or match engine, so it is lighter than a sports manager sim by design.
The story runs in comic strips between milestones, with corrupt commissioners, crooked referees and paparazzi trying to take a cut. New levels arrive every week, and weekly events add their own goals, milestone rewards and leaderboards. The stadium builder game page shows each stage of a city; the best idle tycoon games list shows where it sits in the wider genre.
Free to download and play
Idle Sports Stadium Tycoon is free on the App Store and Google Play. Optional in-app purchases and rewarded ads you choose to watch speed things up; every city can be completed without paying. This is the same game previously listed as Sports Playoff Idle Tycoon and Idle Sports Tycoon; the name changed, the game and your save did not. The FAQ covers devices, offline earnings and support.

Mayor and fanbassador. Started the wave in the hospital room he was born in. Has never run a business; has many opinions.

The voice of the city. Born with a booming baritone, he has called everything from bonspiels to bar mitzvahs.

Town mascot since anyone can remember. Never removes the mask. Nobody remembers what's underneath.
Betty
Cheerleader captain. Dating the quarterback, secretly in love with Happy the Mascot. It's complicated.
