If you have another rink in town for practice use then the Civic might be doable. UAH plays in the same arena as the Havoc in Hunstville (The Havoc do better in attendance btw).
But having a rink is hardly the first or last obstacle.
All the semantics aside, there really ins't enough talent to start adding more D1 teams. The bottom quarter of teams aren't very good, some play partial DIII schedules (no DII in hockey).
UAH is pretty bad, and there is no fighting in college like in minor pro, which is a major reason markets like knoxville have done well, fans enjoy going to drink beer and see some fights, you don't get that in college, so when the talent is low it's not very exciting.
SEC and ACC schools with club hockey are not going to start adding D1 programs, it's just not going to happen. 0% chance.
