Arena Football League News
On Wednesday, November 27th, The AFL (Arena Football League) announced that they've ceased operations. The AFL played their first season back in 1987, but the league rode a roller coaster of ups and downs ever since its inception. The league added, and subtracted teams on an annual basis, and the most popular franchises like the Iowa Barnstormers, and the Arizona Rattlers left to join the IFL (Indoor Football League) years ago. The 2019 AFL season included 6 teams, and no big time television deal.
The 2019 AFL season featured the Albany Empire, the Atlantic City Blackjacks, the Baltimore Brigade, the Columbus Destroyers, the Philadelphia Soul, and the Washington Valor. The Albany Empire won Arena Bowl 32 by defeating the Philadelphia Soul 45-27. Click on the link below for more information about the AFL.
