Sodboy13 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Chicago and Milwaukee not in the same division, or even conference for that matter. Brilliant.

Brilliant.Head scratcher as Milwaukee is closer to the West than Chicago. I would have moved Tulsa to the South and Milwaukee to the Central. While taking Jacksonville or Georgia to the East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The West and South divisions makes sense. Even the Central makes some sense in terms of Tulsa being there (Tulsa is too far west for the other South division teams).The East division looks odd because of Milwaukee being there since Chicago is farther east then Milwaukee. Switch that around and it works. Also, the hell happened to OKC? Is there something they aren't telling the fans? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SIFL will buy the AIFA and the AFL will buy the SIFL. In 2012 we will see a resurgence of the AF2 Edit: AFL confirms, but team hasn't released statement So it looks like the Dawgz are leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClevelandHockey Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yes! I get to see the Pittsburgh Power Rangers twice defeated! What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?

Norva Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The AFL has been around for over 20 years before it went under and really that was largely due to mismanagement. With a much lower cost of operation that they have now I can't see why they can't last. We shall see how things go but I am optimistic. Either way I am excited to catch some more Storm games this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with the Voodoo back and doing purple to damn near perfection, it may be time to explore other options. Green, red, and silver, perhaps?

Drakonius26 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 New alignment for the Arena Football League has come out and looks like Oklahoma City is outNational ConferenceWest DivisionArizonaSan JoseSpokaneUtahCentral DivisionChicagoDallasIowaKansas CityTulsaAmerican ConferenceSouth DivisionGeorgiaJacksonvilleNew OrleansOrlandoTampa BayEast DivisionClevelandMilwaukeePhiladelphiaPittsburghReel. Line. Mint?But honestly, I don't see how this league is going to survive for much longer, as they seem to be repeating the same mistakes that they did before it went under the first time. Not to mention, that while the league will work in Spokane, Boise, Omaha, Iowa, Orlando, etc. why return to places like Chicago and Atlanta, where I hardly see any people at the game or who give a crap about Arena Football in an already saturated sports market like that.

Sodboy13 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 In fairness, Chicago was drawing 14K+ per game in the old AFL, when I believe Don Levin, who owns the Wolves, was the primary owner. The new ownership has done practically zero marketing since taking over.
