Ottawa Champions Attendence

Q131: What will be the attendance for the Ottawa Champions opening game?
Fewer than 3000: 15%
3000-3500: 15%
3500-4000: 40%
4000-4500: 15%
More than 4500: 15%

The Ottawa Champions baseball club will be playing their first game of the season tonight.  The team expects 3500-4000 in attendance for the opening game (see here).  The Ottawa Rapidz (who were also in the Can-Am league), has attendance of 4200 for their opening game (see article here).  The league average attendance was 2328 last year (see stats here).  Weather-wise, the forecast is for low temperatures (around 5-10 °C) but no rain.

I think that the 3500-4000 estimate is probably about right, on average, but I wouldn't be greatly surprised by an attendance that is smaller or larger than anticipated.  I'm not sure that Champions management has enough information to make a very precise estimate.
