The official game log says 5663 on Game 1 and 2922 on Game 2. Averaging 4242 people per game would put the Wranglers at around 19th for attendance in the AHL when compared against last year's AHL attendance figures.
That is definitely decent, especially for a
new franchise that was playing their second game in a
back-to-back home-stand against the
same team on a
Monday night. If you don't believe that playing the same team as yesterday in the same building on a Monday has any impact on the attendance figures, I don't know what to tell you...
CSEC is probably more than happy with the attendance numbers this past weekend, but apparently, Hitmen attendance is down a little bit. CSEC has been doing some joint advertising with the Hitmen/Wranglers. It should be interested to see how the attendance numbers for both teams shakes out as the season progresses.
Huh? Coachella has nothing to do with the attendance. Both games were in Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome
