Still MIGHTY Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 LA KISS may have folded, but they haven't told anyone about it. Opened my OC Register this morning for the headline "LA KISS apparently folds" They may have ceased operations but didn't tell any of the players (some only found out like two days after they were picked in the dispersal draft) and haven't told any season ticket holder who put down money for next season.

Green Bay and Arizona were never in the same league, and Green Bay and Iowa only since Iowa joined the IFL. Green Bay and Spokane were both in af2 at the same time. Jacksonville is was rejected by the IFL due to distance. They are either going to start their own league, or if unsuccessful, will be forced to join the ADL or even the CANAM League. http://canamifl.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Storm hired a new head coach today, so I would assume status quo for 2017 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Looks like Baltimore is getting a team in this dying ship. Too bad, rather the space go to NLL. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I wonder if there's a 6th Northeast team popping up, possibly Pittsburgh reactivating? Are they going to pull some players in from China or do they still have players under contract from the other squads that dissolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was confirmed in an e-mail that I received this morning. The team is going to be owned by Ted Leonsis' Monumental Sports & Entertainment, but separately managed (which sounds like an MLS-style arrangement). http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/bs-sp-arena-football-20161114-story.html https://www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/mse-acquires-baltimore-afl-team Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 You see, when Adam Markowitz talked about the league being rescued by an influx of NBA/NHL ownership, he never specified that it would all be from one owner.

TBGKon Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Im trying to think of some NHL/NBA locations that have ownership that would consider some additional dates in their building. Maybe this is time to make the AFL the eastern regional indoor league since it seems like the IFL footprint is central/west. - Nashville (former traditional AFL market, single tenant NHL) - Charlotte or Raleigh (single tenant venues) - Pittsburgh (single tenant, on hiatus?)

Since the Karmonos sons are suing their pops over loans taken from the family trust, I don't think that Raleigh is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 For what it's worth, my 15 year old is excited to hear that an AFL team is coming to Baltimore. More football to watch after Ravens season.

leopard88 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I may take him to a game or two, assuming the tickets are reasonably priced. . . . and, compared to an NFL game, just about anything seems reasonably priced.

Discrim Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Rest in peace, zombie AFL. I knew thee in your past life, and I loved thee. Now, though, tis just a matter of time til Negan comes for thee. ? (I know they're gonna attempt a 2017 season...but the way things are now, the indoor leagues would be better off with a Champions League-like arrangement if any of them wanted to bother with any semblance of a national league) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 So, we all thought the league would be a 6 team league (with the addition of Albany) for 2018, but we were wrong... Cleveland will go on-hiatus for the next two seasons while their home arena goes under renovations. The Gladiators will return for play in 2020. http://www.cleveland.com/gladiators/index.ssf/2017/11/cleveland_gladiators_will_susp.html Theres still rumors of a Newark team for 2018, but no news/rumors of it since August.
