The local business community has been trying to get it changed for years. Apparently the FAA offered GAY (as in Sioux GAY-teway Airport). City fathers said no thanks.

The airport board, however, started selling stuff with the SUX logo at the airport and it's going like hotcakes (LA Times story here). Business community is apparently coming around and embracing the joke.

Here's the link to the "Fly SUX" goods. You can thank me later...
