Nvm:

Their attendance seemed to be a bit on the rise lately:

20th in the league this season:

They play in an older arena (1982) and has a capacity of 10,129

Averaging 5,000 a game is pretty good, at least compared to Abbotsford's 3,700.
I don't think the Utica arena even holds 5,000. Just checked it seems it can only hold 4,000 so I don't see that being viable.
