MIAMI - Arena Football may expand to South Florida in time for either the 2006 or 2007 season, the league's commissioner said Monday.

David Baker said he has spoken with officials from both AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami and the Office Depot Center in Sunrise several times, including in recent days, about the possibility of placing a team in either facility. No deals have been reached, and no ownership group has been chosen.




Miami has failed with AFL teams in the past, what makes it different this time.

Someone said on one of these boards that Baker was just making his trip to the Orange Bowl to see his kid play a business trip...and this'd do it.

Miami would be a great place for an AFL team if they are good hopefully. Because the last team they had (the Florida Bobcats) sucked and plus their name was too weak!
