AAFL - Another American Football League

With the bombilation growing around the new AAFL, is the U.S. ready for yet another American football game league? The All American Football League believes so.

What is it?

Football by any other name. The AAFL is hoping to pull football game game game game fans who necessitate an mercantile establishment for professional football in the NFL's offseason.

What's the attraction?

Besides a springtime and early summertime season, the AAFL is associating itself with colleges known for football to pull college football fans in their offseason. This is critical to its attack because it means to enroll participants from those colleges. The thought is that if you closely followed a player's college calling and they are now playing for the AAFL, you will desire to follow their professional calling as well. Each college's alumni and local fanbase will be offered ticket bundles and other perks.

Where will the squads be located?

So far, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Texas.

Try-outs for Arkansas, Alabama, Sunshine State and Wolverine State have got got already been held, and depending on your source, some participants have already been signed to teams. A regular season and playoff agenda is already set, though again, depending on your source, not all the locales for games have got been finalized. Among the land sites that are expected to host at least one game are Raymond Jesse James Stadium in Tampa, FL, War Memorial Field in Little Rock, argon and John Ford Field in Detroit, MI.

Is there anyone well-known associated with the league?

Though the conference commissioner and trading operations executive directors are not hired yet, the president of the Board of Managers is Cedric Dempsey, a former NCAA president. There is also mental representation from former college presidents and university system premiers as well as Jack Lengyel, better known as the fictional character played by Saint Matthew McConaughey in We Are Marshall.

Wait, isn't there already football game in the NFL's offseason?

Sphere League Football (AFL) runs from March to June. NFL Europa have folded. The Canadian Football League (CFL) runs roughly from late June through November.

Will it work?

A batch of conferences have got come up and gone. The job is that it bes a batch to run and keep a football game league. There are participant and executive director salaries, bowl rentals and telecasting contracts just for starters. The AAFL is a for-profit league and if it cannot run at a profit, it won't remain around for very long. It is deserving noting that the AAFL will not profit from grant gross sales the manner some professional squads make to hike their net income because grants at the games will be operated by and for the host stadium. For what it's worth, suds will not be available.

Another hurdle the conference confronts is keeping the costs to fans down. Ticket terms for pro athletics are a large turnoff, and the AAFL will have got to happen a manner to maintain ticket terms low-cost and attractive. Ticket terms have got been announced to be around $13 and there will be a large pushing for locals to purchase "memberships" which gives them particular fringe benefits such as as very important person parking and particular showings of out-of-town games.

The AAFL have said it will televise games nationally, but there's nationally televised insurance and then there's national television. Just inquire the NHL who are effectively buried on Versus, a transmission channel that most people have got never heard of.

The conference can acquire a immense encouragement if the quality of the game drama is high. Then, it stand ups a good opportunity of making it past the first season.

The existent inquiry is whether or not the AAFL theoretical account can work by staying local, and whether it even necessitates the support of a national fanbase. And you might also be asking, why trouble oneself at all? Are there really a nothingness in the human race of American football game that is served by a new league? The AAFL believes so. If not, it will be just another football game conference that come ups and travels in the eye blink of a season.
