We are in a transaction deficit!

The Hitmen average about 8,000 per game; the Stamps about 28,000; and the Roughnecks around 11,000. That's about 600,000 tickets combined between them (more, if they all play home playoff games).
Between all the teams CSEC owns, they're already exceeding the total population of metro-Calgary. That doesn't even include concerts (and none of those teams are playing at capacity).
