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 not a strong entry, posting 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 Syracuse Scorpions were a two-year entry in the lower-division American Soccer League. The team originally played their games on the outfield grass of MacArthur Stadium, the city’s minor league baseball stadium. But the ballpark burned down in May 1969 and was unusable for the rest of the summer, forcing both the Scorpions and the Syracuse Chiefs baseball team to find new arrangements. The Scorpions played at Griffin Field during the latter part of the 1969 season. The club disbanded following an abbreviate 1970 season.
