I can not 'correct' you on that matter. Ultimately, only HT could. But sadly, observation doesn't match yours.

By the way, in the past 5 days I saw the arena peaking out at 300-340 players at US prime time.

I have no such chart at hand right now, sorry.

By the way, there are no published stats for the actual numbers of players online at any given moment. To track that value, one has to note down the numbers from login screen or roster... which even I do only rarely and only for relatively short samples ;)

Since the great CV control change the AH population spends about just under 1/4th of its "inflight" time per tour (sans manned ack) in GV's.
Of course the actual amount of people in GVs can vary very much between terrains (CraterMa vs Mindanao) generally and momentary combat opportunities in particular.
