I don't know about that. Even in decline the Aces draw more fans per game than all the UAA sports teams draw on any night  put together .  UAA's hockey team would draw more but even a sixth grader knows that if they're in town games are shown live on TV a person can save big bucks staying at home to see the game. With no " black out " or tape delay , UAA shoots itself in the foot every home game . For now this is still a hockey town . We just have an odd way of showing it.   It's sad when the Governors Cup is played in Anchorage and there's more Fairbanks fans in attendance than Anchorage fans.  If just 25 percent of UAA students got off they're lazy rear ends and attended games---UAA hockey would outdraw the Aces.
