So, the league reached an agreement with the player's union.
So the season will happen & the corpse will continue to shamble.

Randall Boe is replacing Scott Butera as AFL Commissioner. Hopefully he will be halfway competent, undoing Butera's damage will be at least as tough as cleaning up after Dixie Carter in Impact.

So, it's looking bad for both the Cedar Rapids Titans of the IFL and the Dallas Marshals of the CIF. The Marshals had to cancel last weekend's game in Dallas, because they were behind on insurance and rent to the arena. The Titans, well, let's just say their own is just a piece of s*** right now.

I've ignored this thread for a few months due to the frustration of the sport, but we are in the midst of playoff action. So let's get to it.
INDOOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE:
The first round is set for this weekend as the No. 1 seed Iowa Barnstormers (11-3) host the No. 4 seed Nebraska Danger (4-10) for the "United Conference Championship." On the other side, the No. 2 seed Arizona Rattlers (11-3) host the No. 3 seed Sioux Falls Storm (11-3) for the "Intense Conference Championship." Basically, this is the first time since 2010 that the Storm have had a road playoff game, as they were on the road in the 2010 United Bowl against the Billings Outlaws. This season, though, the road to the United Bowl runs through Des Moines, Iowa, unless Iowa gets upset first round, which I don't see happening.
CHAMPIONS INDOOR FOOTBALL:
The Division Championships are set. In the North, the No. 2 seed Sioux City Bandits (9-3) head south to face the No. 1 seed Salina Liberty (9-3). The Bandits got there after defeating the Quad City Steamwheelers, 54-46 in the first round and Salina got there after defeating the Bismarck Bucks, 81-51.
In the South, the no. 1 seed Duke City Gladiators (10-2) host the no. 3 seed Texas Revolution (5-7) for that Division crown. Duke City got there after defeating the Wichita Force, 50-39, while the Revolution upset the no. 2 seed Amarillo Venom, 56-45.

So, about two months ago, new AFL commissioner Randall Boe commented how he wants to double the league next year during a Philadelphia Soul vs. Baltimore Whatevers game on CBS Sports Network.
Meanwhile, in light of the Tucson Roadrunners, the city of Tucson wants to upgrade the University of Arizona's basketball arena so it can host more events and even arena football.
If I'm Boe, I'd stay in the East for another year or so. Make sure you don't lose the teams you got, and me playing armchair executive, I'd put these teams in Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Long Island, and Connecticut. I always hope for a return to Indianapolis, but I doubt the Arena Football League would like a 5,600 seat venue for a home team.
A perfectly suitable analog would be the NLL; a similar niche market (box lacrosse) that emphasizes the low and slow method of building markets before expanding instead of what they did last decade where they put a team anywhere with minimal research.

I've heard the AFL is looking at Tuscon, and I've heard the IFL is looking at Tuscon. It'd work for the IFL, because the Rattlers are there. If I were the AFL, I'd stay on the east coast as well. A national indoor league is nothing but a pipedream anymore. There's not enough interest for it anymore, and too many towns have been scammed by shady businessmen to trust anybody.

A 2-10 team could win the Arena Bowl.
It is official. The AFL is now a complete s***show.

So they play 12 games with just 4 teams. So what's the TV Deal like CBS Sports Network? I don't even think CBS Sports Network showed them this year. Alot of it was Facebook live videos.

I still play that one quite a bit. Arena Football: Road to Glory. I create a number of the teams in the IFL and CIF, combine them, and play a schedule with them.
