Salt City Aces

New York State Football Conference (1976)
Independent (1977)
Empire Football League (1978-1981)

Background

The Salt City Aces were a Syracuse-based semi-pro football team active from 1976 through 1981. The club primarily played at Griffin Field.

The Aces were never particularly adept on the field. The team posted four straight losing campaigns as a member of the Empire Football League between 1978 and 1981, including a winless 0-10 season in 1978.

The Aces dissolved following the 1981 season and were swiftly replaced with a new Empire Football League entry, the Syracuse Americans, who took the field for the 1982 season.

Outsiders II covers the independent minor leagues of professional football from 1951 through 1985. This volume contains histories and yearly statistical summaries for the top minor leagues of the period, plus the World Football League, which has a claim to major league status, and the United States Football League, which was clearly a major league. It also includes yearly summaries for the best of the lesser leagues, which featured a good number of interesting players in their own right.
