A news conference is planned Monday to announce the formation of a new arena football league with teams from the former AFL and af2 leagu
es.
Representatives of the af2 teams in Oklahoma City, Arkansas, and Spokane, Wash., all confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that they intend to be part of the new league that will be based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz general manager Christie Cook says ownership meetings are planned this weekend in Tulsa to finalize which other cities will have teams.
The old AFL canceled its 2009 season before eventually folding in August, while af2 continued play in smaller cities across the U.S.
Games in the new league called Arena Football 1 are to start in late March or early April.
The teams involved are unknown at this time. Will they just bring those teams back that don’t have another Pro Football team? They are also looking at the possibility if they have allot of team, they may try and do a Tier I and Tier II system. I for one like the fact the Arena Football is back.
