Anchorage doesn't have the population and for one is way to far away. If you are going to go that far, why not just put a team in Russia....
Juneau wouldn't be a good place sometimes they get bad storms in the winter and you can't fly in or out.
Anchorage I think might be able to support a franchise we have two other cities (wasilla, palmer)which are close. One of the things that could help out is that we get permanent funds which we get every year and it's a check from the government from oil companies it's not a set amount I think last year it was $900 and that could help pay for season tickets. Anchorage has a population of 260,283 not sure on Wasilla or Palmer they are about 45 minutes away and alot of people commute back and forth. What I don't think will work is I don't think alot of people will come because if the team is losing like the Aces have been for about 01,02,03 give or take a few years. The other thing is we would probably want Gomez and Conklin. You also have the travel problem from here to Seattle is about 3 hours and gets worse the further you go I think to tampa florida it's 9 hours.
