The Commissioner has indicated that there will be a significant broadcasting and streaming deal. I find it hard to believe that any major broadcast networks are interested in a league where so far, its largest market is Orlando, Florida. The league has teased that it's three biggest markets will be Philly, Chicago and Minnesota (St. Paul, but Minneapolis is right next door) with rumors of teams in Cincy, St. Louis, Austin, Nashville and Denver. And instead of using Washington to confuse people, why not call the Everett team "Seattle?" Everett is a suburb of Seattle and the Seattle Storm played in Everett.

But then I saw the team is based in Counciltucky, so they're going to try to compete with Omaha. Okay, good luck.

LMU Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Seeing where this league is going, I'd say that Bakersfield is probably the most appropriate venue for the California team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Barstow is where this league is at the moment, but the only reason that won't happen is there's not an arena big enough out there.

GDAWG Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 As of now, the largest city in the AFL is Orlando, although they claim that they will have teams in Philly and Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Im all for a return to the Arena League, but with the addition of these small town teams. Do you know if this becomes a AFL/AF2 situation all over again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 For all of their team and league announcements via tweeting, which carries less reach and impact than it has in at least a dozen years, I would just like to note that this Arena Football League appears to have not made a single update to their website since the launch announcement. Did the guy in charge of it forget the password and now they're going to have to start another website at real arena football dot com? If so, relatable.

MJWalker45 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 CIF and AFL are joining up, with some exceptions. For now, the Gillette Mustangs are not moving over reportedly due to the arena not being able to support the original AFL net setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 So we've gone from the big splashy vague announcement of major and mid-major markets into grabbing on to the glitz and stability of Salina, KS and Rapid City, SD in a speedrun. 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

The largest market so far is Orlando. However it could have been Everett, Washington if they were to call the team "Seattle" but instead, they are calling it Washington, which will cause confusion. They allegedly have teams in Philly and Chicago that have not been officially announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
