Squeezing 8-9 games into that slot isn't impossible.

Neither team would fit into the 2K seat 7 Chiefs or any other venue very easily.

Hitmen actual attendance, other than a couple of feature games, has been trending down for several years. The fact that they only sell season tickets in the lower bowl and the 1st three rows of the upper bowl is telling. Add to that club seats are included in the price of admission, and the actual butts in seats for weekday games could easily fit in a 2-3 k facility.
