Alaska's premier venue for quality entertainment. Sullivan Arena is Alaska’s largest entertainment venue, and was designed to be a multi-use facility complete with an Olympic size ice rink. Sullivan Arena is Alaska’s largest entertainment venue, and hosts many events year-round. Sullivan Arena was designed to be a multi-use facility complete with an Olympic size ice rink, with an insulated floor covering for basketball, concerts, and trade shows. Total square footage with all telescoping seats retracted is approximately 32,000 square feet. Sullivan Arena is an SMG-managed facility. SMG of Alaska, Inc. also holds management contracts for Dena’Ina Convention Center, Egan Civic and Convention Center, Ben Boeke Ice Arena, Dempsey Anderson Ice Arena and the Carlson Center in Fairbanks. As the recognized global industry leader, SMG provides construction and design consulting, pre-opening services, venue management, sales, marketing, event booking and programming.Hockey fans who watch games at Anchorage's Sullivan Arena will soon be able to see instant replays and game action without having to strain their necks. A new four-sided Jumbotron-type scoreboard and an updated sounds system are en route to replace the outdated speakers and single screen currently used at the arena. The gear, purchased from another ECHL team that folded in January will likely be installed during the summer months, according to the Municipality of Anchorage.That amounts to the most significant work done on the multi-use building that was constructed as part of Project '80s,'' when the state invested oil earnings in building public facilities like Sullivan Arena, the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Loussac Library and the Egan Civic and Convention Center.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Anchorage (officially called the Municipality of Anchorage; Dena'ina: Dgheyaytnu) is a unified home rule municipality in the U.S. state of Alaska. With an estimated 298,192 residents in 2016, it is Alaska's most populous city and contains more than 40 percent of the state's total population; among the 50 states, only New York has a higher percentage of residents who live in its most populous city. All together, the Anchorage metropolitan area, which combines Anchorage with the neighboring Matanuska-Susitna Borough, had a population of 401,635 in 2016, which accounts for more than half of the state's population. At 1,706 square miles of land area, the city is larger than the smallest state, Rhode Island, at 1,212 square miles.Anchorage is in the south-central portion of Alaska, at the terminus of the Cook Inlet, on a peninsula formed by the Knik Arm to the north and the Turnagain Arm to the south. The city limits span 1,961.1 square miles (5,079.2 km2) which encompass the urban core, a joint military base, several outlying communities and almost all of Chugach State Park.Due to its location, almost equidistant from New York City, Frankfurt, and Tokyo, Anchorage lies within 9 1⁄2 hours by air of nearly 90% of the industrialized world. For this reason, the Anchorage International Airport is a common refueling stop for many international cargo flights and home to a major FedEx hub, which the company calls a critical part of its global network of services.Anchorage has won the All-America City Award four times: in 1956, 1965, 1984–85, and 2002, by the National Civic League. It has also been named by Kiplinger as the most tax-friendly city in the United States.
