I didn't care for the look of it, so had to make the trade off. I thought of trying some other things, but I time box myself on these makeovers and ran out of time to iterate more.

Two Things:<br />1) Alabama could let fans attend the games for free and still turn a significant profit<br />2) I would display the values on the bars in the same format as the numbers across the top (i.e. $36.2M instead of $36,199,233 for ticket sales)Osumtberskierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699893474648598296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-18759692857965965852014-12-12T13:32:34.709+00:002014-12-12T13:32:34.709+00:00Andy -

I had a similar thought to Barrett it still feels like apples and oranges, but appreciate your point of no common categories. Instead, might I suggest a common fixed sized X-Axis? That way the gray bars should cover roughly twice the area of the red bars, and convey the sense that revenue is much greater Nelson Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208674182053105269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-3506940393626341042014-12-11T20:17:39.956+00:002014-12-11T20:17:39.956+00:00Great feedback Barrett...thanks!

Also, as far as comparing categories across the viz, that wouldn't make sense here since there aren't any categories in common other than Other.VizWizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408220384219218043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-69253081542136719182014-12-11T19:26:17.820+00:002014-12-11T19:26:17.820+00:00Hey Andy -

However one thing both the original and your updated bar chart version could be improved with is scaling to allow easier comparisons between revenue and expenses. If you updated the bar charts to use the same scale, it would make it easier to see theBarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670556230892180207noreply@blogger.com
