  • Indoor Football League Arizona Rattlers
    WELCOME 2019 River Kings Media Guide A new era of Indoor football In June of 2018, the Cedar Rapids Titans were purchased by a new ownership group led by LA-based businessman Roy Choi and his New York-based colleague Matt Stone. The upcoming year will be the team’s eighth season of operations as a part of the Indoor Football League. As a part of the transition of ownership, the organization brought on new management with the intention to refocus the team’s commitment to Cedar Rapids. We identified three primary goals as part of the relaunch: put a competitive team on the field, provide a high-quality sports entertainment experience at the U.S. Cellular Center for the fan base, and focus their energy on the community that supports the team. In addition to their updated mission, the team decided to take on a re-brand of the organization to draw a clear and concise line that this is an entirely new group of owners and staff with the intention to be great stewards of the community, the best partners they can be for their sponsors, and to compete on the field and in the community in an effort to become the best local sports organization in Eastern Iowa. From the moment you walk into the US Cellular Center you can expect an exciting experience on game nights. Whether you are a first time guest, a season ticket holder, or part of a group, we invite you to expereince the hard-hitting, high scoring action of indoor football with us this season as we begin a new chapter in our franchise’s history.

  • 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.

The league grew from six to eight, to ten teams without ever having a game go un-played for five seasons. A year later, several veteran team operators in the Midwest formed a league titled the United Indoor Football Association and enjoyed four years of success. During this period, league executives from both sides admired the other’s success and a friendship was developed. In 2008, the suggestion of merger became reality as the two leagues agreed to dissolve their former affiliations to become the new Indoor Football League. In the league’s inaugural season in 2009, the league competed with 19 active teams.

    ©2013 Stephen J. Dixon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PUBLICLY OWNED SINGLE PURPOSE STADIUMS AND MULTIPURPOSE ARENAS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND USE DIVERSITY By STEPHEN J. DIXON A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Dr. David Listokin and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Publicly Owned Single Purpose Stadiums and Multipurpose Arenas: A Comparative Analysis of Economic Characteristics and Use Diversity By STEPHEN J. DIXON Dissertation Director: Professor David Listokin This dissertation examines the economic characteristics and use diversity of publicly owned single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with a major league professional sports team tenant and multipurpose arenas with a minor league sports team tenant for a one year period. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether differences exist and may be driven by categories of facility type (single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas) and tenancy (major league or minor league sports team). Despite a significant body of literature arguing the expenditure of public funds for major league professional sports is not a wise investment, the trend of public subsidization of new and rehabilitated facilities continues. Facilities constructed for minor league sports have not received significant attention. Comparisons of economic characteristics, such as leakage and facility capital cost, and comparisons of use diversity and civic utilization are performed between single purpose stadiums and multipurpose arenas with major league sports tenants.
