Consider this, no soccer team in Calgary has averaged this many fans since the Boomers, and they folded after one year. The bar is very low, but Cavalry will be the most successful professional soccer team in this city after just the one year.
What this really highlights to me is that Edmonton is no good. This is the only club in the league that has a semblance of history behind it. They had a 9 year head start on everyone else in all aspects of the game, and their attendance has dropped significantly from their last season.

Is there a rumor that Spruce Meadows is planning on building a 12k seat soccer specific stadium?
