So where have the Ex's fans gone? Do they have their own board? Does nobody there follow the team any more?

People in SC simply don't go because the team is never competitive. I was optimistic about this year, but the offense just can't get anything done consistently and it's tough to watch.

Maybe new ownership would rivatlize the team and fan interest. That's too bad. Although, before the AA split, there was always talk that Sioux Falls and Sioux City would fold/move.

We would always drive the hour it to see a game between the X's and Bird's. Even when the Bird's were on the road against someone else we would drive down to see the X's. Some people are just frontrunners I guess.

I didn't go for many years, but regret it terribly now. I've made trips to Sioux Falls and Lincoln for games and always have fun.

SC fans are probably the most fair weather fans I've known. Sioux City only seems to pack games in when it's a holiday event (4th of July fireworks or New Year's Eve game for hockey). If the teams performed great in those games, people might be tempted to come back.
