I like what's been said so far. I do think exceptions should be made for teams building a new stadium. The admins have been talking and I suggested something pertaining to WB to promote spending. First, I think the cost is a little too high for the worth of it and second, I think the prospect (however so slight) of a 500 or career ending injury scares people off.
If you look from a realistic standpoint teams are VERY cautious with players and the slightest of injuries usually get the player removed from the remainder of WB. There's a few ways we can look at the cost. We can simply lower it ($5-7.5M would be my suggestion) or we can make the cost based on what dice roll you get. Below is what I would alter WB with #1-45 = $5M, #46-175 = $7.5M, #176-200 = $10M or at least something of a staggered scale.
1-2: 200 day injury
3-5: 100 day injury
6-10: 50 day injury
11-45: No change
46-140: +1 predicted
141-175: +1 predicted, +1 peak
176-185: +2 predicted, +1 peak
186-195: +2 predicted, +2 peak
196-200: +3 predicted, +2 peak
