I think my earlier estimate of 1000 to break even was off.

According to this article, the operating budget of the club per year is about $150K (I'm excluding the one time franchise fee). Based on their reported sponsorships being ~100K, which is very good for PDL, they need to make ~50K in ticket sales, merch, beer, etc to break even:

So, with an average attendance of ~500 this year date, average ticket price of $12.50, there's 25K left to be made with ticket sales of the last two games and beer and merch.
