in facilities more like the Tautphaus Park shelter w/ 200 people and charging $5. My non-expert analysis is that it shows some serious pent up desire for entertainment/recreation in Idaho Falls in the Winter. People just want something to do when it's cold and snowy. I wish I had a few million dollars to build some other indoor entertainment/recreation facilities of some kind.
Anyway...I think some in SLC may be surprised how much fun an NHL game ends up being (especially if the Jazz are stinking). I was not a hockey fan at all before Spud Kings came to town. I've really enjoyed watching their games and plan to keep going back.
