I had no idea. I think they started probably failing when they lost the ESPN contract at one point. Last time I saw the Barnstormers high lights there were hardly any fans in the stands. I figure it's only a matter of time before they fold. When I was younger (25ish) they made the championship game and the whole city was pumped up. Since then it's been down hill.
The late 90s were pretty good for the AFL. It actually felt like a pro game of some sort. Pretty good players back then.

I went to the game last night and there were more people in my poli sci lectures.

Was there last night tooo as we were offered some free tickets in a suite. Very sad crowd for a 1st place team. It's been a long time since I went to a game, they were probably still in the AFL2 last time I did and we probably sat in one of the last rows in the upper deck for that game. Now they aren't even filling up the lower bowl with half the upper deck closed off.
