The Force, our previous AFL team that played in 1992 only, actually seemed to have done pretty well, averaging over 12k fans at home games (only about 10k on the road), and showing a trend of increasing attendence at home games even though they SUCKED. They were killed more because of the unprofitable nature of the league back then than anything it seems. There were also issues with sight lines for Arena League in the HemisFair being absolutely horrid (IIRC they weren't too good for basketball either).
