I also thought Grey Eagle was 4k or so, but it's apparently 2700. Those 5-7k shows have almost always been at the Dome and many mid size cities are the same.
Edmonton has a nice mid size in the Shaw conference centre (now edmonton conference centre) I believe it's in the 5-6k range.

I always wondered how much could fit in the Grey Eagle since it's all standing room. That seems to be the busiest venue these days when it comes to concerts or at least metal concerts.
