Sad really. The league was modestly successful for 20 years. Then Bush came into office, and now look what's happened!

very sad indeed...i went to a few dallas desperado games and had a great time...my most memorable AFL moment was sitting about 25 ft from John Elway when colorado came to dallas. it was cool and the games were very fun and not too expensive.

Damn. I really, really enjoyed Arena Football. I mean, it was almost as good as home games for NT, short of the fact that the Desperados had better chances of winning games. The AFL was a great league, the speed of the game was great and so was being so close to the action. I'll miss it and I hope to see it back once things return to normal.

Also, thanks ESPN. The revenue money that could've come from televising the games could've brought back that $12mil or at least part of what was needed to keep an already lean-running league going. The AFL would've been fine as it really does a good job of holding football fans over in the dreaded spring between football seasons.

I watched AFL in the early 90s when the best game was Tampa vs. Orlando, also known as "The War on the Floor"
