The Nocturne Knobheads is a professional major-league sportsball club based in Nocturne, affiliated with the National Sportsball League.
The Knobheads is a for-profit corporation. The team's 80,000 seat stadium is team-owned and sits at one of Nocturne's most picturesque locations. The stadium at 101 Dusk Boulevard overlooks the city center from atop a small mountain at the edge of Nocturne's primary urban boundary.
Knobhead Stadium is an outdoor facility, requiring athletes and spectators to endure potentially chilly weather. Nocturne's northern location combines with the climate at the top of a mountain to provide for a shorter playing season than that available at just about any other of Illuminatia's sportsball stadiums. Local die-hard fanatics know to dress warm for gameday and Knobhead athletes train in the cool, lighter-atmosphere environment on the mountain to develop a distinct home field advantage.
The Knobheads employs the athletic talent of 90 total athletes, with 40 athletes serving as active players and an additional 40 athletes serving on a standby basis. Active Knobhead athletes earn a salary of 610μ/AU while standby athletes earn about 160μ/AU. Knobhead athletes play a more rigorous schedule than the average NSBL athlete thanks to more frequent away games and fewer active personnel.
The club earns a revenue of 351,700μ/AU based largely on ticket sales and broadcast rights, followed by merchandise and concessions. General admission tickets go for 0.24μ. The Knobheads play an average of 13 home games per 41 game season.
The team's mascot is Nubby the Knobhead.
