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

Not even close to those numbers, when the flames were in QC I went to most of the games in Peoria. Never were there anymore than 2k fans at any of those games that they claimed 4k.
