Report

The 2019 season in the Arena Football League was the last in this most successful independent alternative to the National Football League since the American Football League of 1960 to 1969. With only six teams in it’s last season, Albany Empire triumphed in the Arena Bowl XXXIII 45-27 over Philadelphia Soul. Its’ legacy is Arena Indoor Football Leagues all over the USA, as well as in Mexico, and copycat leagues such as the Legends Football League based on the same idea of a reduced numbers American Football League in an Indoor Arena.
