This is what happened with the Brass. Once the city landed the Hornets, the Brass were over. :(
SMG or whoever was managing the arena didn't want to hire a third shift of workers to pick up and put down the basketball court. Brass had to leave.
Marketed right, with a good price point, yes it could succeed. Before moving to the arena, the Brass routinely sold out the Municipal Auditorium which held 5,010 spectators. And let me tell you, it was LOUD in there, the loge seats hung right out over the benches and penalty boxes, fans could abuse players all night long.
The attendance was close to that after the move, but in an 18,000 seat arena , those 5,010 +/- souls were spread all over the place. The arena is comfortable, easy to move around, get concessions. The Auditorium was fun, intimidating and a great place for hockey.
I don't think UNO is big enough to put in a rink.

We do need a mid size arena somewhere in this area that can host hockey, indoor football, etc.
Maybe Covington would be a good place for it

Brass games were awesome and always packed ... not that municipal was the dome. But they had a good run.
