About the AFL

The Arena Football League was the original Indoor or Arena American Football League, established in 1986. After the court ruling in 1998 that its patent (awarded in 1989) only referred to the rebound nets either side of the goalposts, everything else was football, and not under copyright, as it was already in the common sphere.

This opened the door to rival Indoor Leagues, and in an attempt to see them off Arena Football League created Arena Football 2, an official Minor League. This was an over-expansion and coupled with the debts from the court case related to the patent, it incurred a legacy debt that left the League in no position to continue after 2019.

About Arena / Indoor Football

Indoor Football, also known as Arena Football was developed in 1986 as an 8v8 form of Indoor American Football. After an initial few seasons where the game was developed with a 4 team league, a full seasons League with eventually over a dozen teams was developed in the 1990 which was considered by the Wall Street Journal to be a fifth major.

The Arena Football League over-expanded in the 2000s with a Minor League, and its importance (and number of teams) waned since it first experienced financial diffulties in 2009, and it ceased operations after the 2019 season due to the legacy debt incurred.

There is now, however, Indoor Football Leagues all over America, all of which would now be considered Minor League or Semi-Pro (AAA, AA, or even A)

Indoor Football is played on a 50-yard field with two 8-yard endzones, and teams have 5 downs (attempts) to reach the endzone or the ball is turned over. 3 of those downs must be passing plays, making Indoor Football highly explosive and high scoring.

The main difference between Arena Football & Indoor Football is the rebound nets either side of the goalposts in Arena Football, which is the only part of the original patent given to the Arena Football League in 1989, that a subsequent ruling in 1998 ruled was copyright, the rest being Football already in other leagues.

Report

After cancelling the 2009 season in order to restructure, following the debts incurred by the failed court case brought against the Indoor Professional Football League over copyright infringement in 1998, and over-expansion with its official minor league – arenafootball2 – from 2000-2010, the Arena Football League re-launched in 2010, with Spokane Shock winning the Arena Bowl, followed by Jacksonville Sharks in 2011 and Arizona Rattlers three-in-a-row from 2012 to 2014, and then San Jose Sabercats in 2015.

The league then underwent a significant drop in teams, from 12 in 2015 to 8 in 2016 and 5 in 2017 (see: https://eirball.ie/2020/02/19/arena-football-league-2016-2019/ )

About

Supreme Indoor Football was an Indoor American Football League, based primarily in the Carolinas, in the American South. It played one season. It could be considered a follow-on from the X-League Indoor Football (see: https://eirball.ie/2020/02/17/x-league-indoor-football-2014-2015/ ) and was replaced by the American Arena League. Cape Fear Heroes (Fayetteville, NC) were in all three leagues.

About Indoor Football

There is now, however, Indoor Football Leagues all over America, all of which would now be considered Minor League or Semi-Pro (AAA, AA, or even A)
