History:
In 1987, Jim Foster, a former NFL
and USFL executive, founded the Arena
Football League (AFL) – America’s
indoor football league. AFL has gone
a long way since - now with extensive
promotions and coverage, AFL averages
about 12,000 spectators per game.
AFL’s championship game, the
ArenaBowl, also received considerable
media coverage. These were made possible
by a deal with the NBC television
network in 2003 to televise league
games.
Sometime in
September 2004, AFL management announced
a tentative league realignment and
the elimination of three teams due
to some of their players’ participation
in a dispersal draft.
AFL is currently
working to further promote their league,
and has recently announced that the
ArenaBowl championship will be held
in Las Vegas for at least the next
three years.
