  • Other Football Leagues
    Sports Facility Reports, Volume 10, Appendix 1 Other Football Leagues League: Arena Football League (AFL) LEAGUE UPDATE: The Arena Football League did not play in 2009 and has suspended operations indefinitely. The League's board of directors cancelled the 2009 season citing debt, high expenses, and the need to come up with a long-term plan to improve its economic model. The AFL and its players association completed a new collective bargaining agreement that was supposed to set the stage for a return to play in 2010, but infighting among the owners killed the agreement. The league has been in a downward spiral since long time commissioner David Baker resigned in July 2008. As of August 1, 2009, the league is $14 million in debt and needs $10 to $12 million in capital to play next season. The league's owners were divided into two groups. One that was committed to bring the league back in 2010 and willing to contribute the capital needed to make that happen. The other fraction was unwilling to make the investment and the two sides were not able to come to a consensus. The league officially announced that it had suspended operations on August 4, 2009. The league declared bankruptcy and entered into Chapter 7 liquidation. © Copyright 2009, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 League: Arena Football League 2 (AF2) Team: Albany Firebirds Principal Owner: Walter Robb Team Website Arena: The Times Union Date Built: 1990 Facility Website UPDATE: The feature of arena football in Albany was in serious doubt.
