ARENA FOOTBALL-10 to 15yrs from now.

[Batfan1400]

this is how i see the AFL within the next decade.If i had things my way,

the ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE would go like this:

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Eastern Division

1).New York Dragons

2).Philadelphia Soul

3).Dallas Desperados

4).Columbus Destroyers

5).Boston-the Massacre or something to do with a "Patriot/Nautical" theme.

6).Pittsburgh-the Parrots or Maulers(old USFL);color them black/goldish-yellow.

7).Washington-the Warriors(Cowboys vs Indians) or War"HOGS"-the 'Skins O-Line.

COMMENT-This is MY FAVORITE division- !!!It reminds me of 1.the NFL's NFC east,

2.the NBA's old Atlantic div. minus NJ + 3).the NHL's ol' time Patrick div.

minus New Jersey + Long Island teams.

SOUTHERN DIVISION

1).Austin Wranglers

2).Georgia Force

3).Miami/So.Fla-can be the Swordfish,Tropics or something to do with S.Beach.

4).Nashville Kats

5).New Orleans Voodoo

6).Orlando Predators

7).Tampa Bay Storm

COMMENT-not much else I had to do here but it's should be a tight division though.

AMERICAN DIVISION

Central Division

1).Chicago Rush

2).Grand Rapids Rampage

3).Indiana-the ol' Firebirds;hot logo,unis and color combo IMO though.

4).Kansas City Brigade

5).Milwaukee-the ol' Mustangs; purple team i luv next to NO Voodoo.see INDY.

6).Minn'polis/St.Paul-the N.Stars hockey team or a Wintery cold-weather theme.

7).St. Louis-the Arches or Clydes(dales);the horses on those Bud Commercials.

COMMENT-it's my 2nd fav division bcuzx it reminds me of the NFC north(GR in

place of DET,likewise with NIL for GB),the NHL's old Norris division minus

DET and TOR,

WESTERN DIVISION

1).Arizona Rattlers

2).Colorado Crush

3).Las Vegas Gladiators

4).Los Angeles Avengers

5).Sacramento-the GoldRush or Miners,something to that effect.

6).San Jos SaberCats

7).Utah Blaze

COMMENT-see the SOUTHERN division.

I hope you liked how I see things in the AFL within the next decade.

I have the game at home as well,so i'm a bit partial though.

Thanks for your time.The End.

I hope you're close, but I see it more like this:

The end. Not knocking the league (I'm an af2 season ticket holder), but I'm pessimisstic for its future with the loss of a TV contract. It's not because of a loss of revenue per se, but a loss of expansion fees due to the TV contract.

I see a lot of teams moving and folding.

[sp0rtsguy13]

The AFL will defintely have a tv contract this up coming season. Whether it may not be for NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC, or ESPN, it will probably be with OLN or FoxSports. Who knows, they may even go back to the new TNN Spike TV.

While I look at some of these, why not have a system of reliagation with some of the larger af2 markets, like OKC, Birmingham, Memphis (if they move to FedEX Forum), for examples. Orlando, New York, and Sacramento are in need of new facilities if you ask the teams, so where would they play?

The Memphis Xplorers are not gonna be moving 'Forum. The Xplorers are owned by the people who own the DeSoto Civic Center. They also own the Memphis RiverKings. Best case scenario would be a re-incarnation of the Memphis Pharohs to play at the 'Forum.
