New Contest -- Guess the Rangers' 2012 Home Attendance

The season kicks off on Friday, and so I thought I'd open up a new contest. There is no prize, other than me acknowledging you in a front page post after the season when we know the results -- this is just for fun.

Make your best guess as to what the Rangers' 2012 home attendance will be during the regular season.

As points of reference:

2011 attendance was 2,946,949

2010 attendance was 2,505,171

2009 attendance was 2,156,016

Good luck.
