text: Odd way to show it indeed. All of this just shows how incredibly fair weather sports fans Anchorage residents are. UAA hasn't consistently been winning since forever ago. They might have a one off season like they did a couple years ago but they'll never be competing for conference championships or NCAA tourney bids. If they were, people would be showing up. The Aces, on the other hand, were winning so much people became complacent and took it for granted. Now they haven't been winning and residents are abandoning them too. Also, minor league sports is a hard industry to make a profit in and I don't know how long the Aces can operate in a league where most of their opponents reside in the Central Time zone. Anchorage should have a WHL team. The skill level would be higher, and their main competition would be in BC/ WA/ OR.
