Expecting 4000-5000 next year is very optimistic, I think. First, I am not betting they reduce prices enough for that - though any reduction helps. But most importantly, the problem of location is still there.
IMO, I think we'd want to aim for a more modest improvement. If the average attendance can grow by 10% - to about 3700 or so - then I'd call that a success.
Another problem we are always going to face will be days like tomorrow. I tip my cap to any diehards that show, because there won't be more than 1500 people actually in the stands. It's Calgary. We will always have to deal with a couple awful weather games.
