It's been pretty average. I think hosting the Continental Cup just a few months ago may have worn some people out, plus the fact that TSN carried every match, regardless of sheet, may have kept people at home. That's just speculation. TSN really upped their game with coverage though; the addition of both Cheryl Bernard and David Nedohin has been fantastic.
While we won't be seeing any records set, this weekend will likely make up for for the weekday draws, especially with Morris and Team Canada still in it.
Edmonton set the record back in 2005 with 281,985. However, when Calgary last hosted in 2009, we finished with 246,126, which is good for third overall in the Brier attendance record.
