pluggerplugger1 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Well, can't say we didn't all see this coming. I got some tickets to the Myth game at Target Center for this Sunday -- who knows, it may end up being this venture's final game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is AAF x MLFB+the last season of the UFL 2009 levels of grifting. At this pace the NAL won't have to worry about blocking the Desert Hawks because the league will be dead by June.

Minnesota Myth: Huntington Bank Stadium (50K) or Allianz Field (almost 20K) Nashville Kats: Geodis Park (30K) Georgia Force (now called Atlanta Force) : Center Parc Stadium (almost 25K) Louisana VooDoo (now called New Orleans VooDoo: Yulman Stadium (30K) Washington Wolfpack (now called Portland Wolfpack): Providence Park (25K) I thought I picked Portland since UFL has the Seattle Sea Dragons and they wanted a team there. And that's my idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems about right for this league. Everyone believes the AFL exists, but in reality, it was just an idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalibuSunrise Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The original AFL was great with the Detroit Drive, Albany Firebirds, Tampa Bay Storm, Orlando Predators, Arizona Rattlers & San Jose SaberCats. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They existed solely on a few expansion fees being paid full price and the carrot on the end of the stick that the NFL was going to buy the league and magically make it profitable. Is the same reason he's booted from the Hall of Fame after the disaster that became of the HOF Village. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Because he sold their future for a fairytale. They existed solely on a few expansion fees being paid full price and the carrot on the end of the stick that the NFL was going to buy the league and magically make it profitable. Under Baker, the AFL's team values were at their highest, as was its players' pay. Most important of all, public awareness of the league was at its peak, with the games on NBC. Now that MLS has firmly established itself as the fifth major league, we should remember that the AFL, with its array of solid and credible owners, was well ahead of MLS, and appeared to be on the verge of attaining that status. This was no fairy tale. It was a reasonable gamble, one which for quite a while looked likely to pay off. The fact that the NFL ultimately did not buy into the Arena League — as most observers believed would eventually happen — is not the fault of Baker, who got the league to its pinnacle. It was a great run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
