The first few games are typically the lowest attended games for the Hitmen. The numbers should continue to climb. I'm looking forward to the Teddy Bear Toss game. 14,000 last year, I wonder if we can sell out the dome this year.
And Calgary's overall capacity is the highest in the league. Portland actually plays out of two arenas. Most of their games are in their Memorial Coliseum, which seats around 12,000 (but the Winterhawks average about 3500 out of there) while big games are played out of the Rose Garden (often drawing 9000+)
The Giants play out of the PNE, but the capacity is listed as 8000 or so. I'm not sure I get that one.
