Milwaukee Iron- They have joined the AF1 and will be in AF1 Tier 1, but unless they have no home games scheduled on the same day as Milwaukee Brewers home games, they will probably fold after this season.

Green Bay Blizzard- They need to find new investors by October 10th or they will fold. Even if the find new investors this team probably won't be successful. How did the Blizzard lose so much money? They averaged around 5,000 fans a game, how can you not make money by getting that much attendance at home games?

Wisconsin Wolfpack- It is good that they are marketing the team now, but will that help get them fan support? Madison, Wisconsin is a College Town.

Milwaukee Bonecrushers- No way they will compete with AF1 team. They may not even come back.

La Crosse Spartans- They are paying $6,000 a game to play in there arena. How are they going to be able to pay that, pay players, pay coaches, and pay staff?

The only Indoor/Arena Football Franchises in Wisconsin that I see have a chance to play for years to come is the Milwaukee Iron(If they don't have Home Games on the same day as Milwaukee Brewers Home Games) and the Wisconsin Wolfpack.

Gilbert Brown is the Head Coach and no the owner. He resigned after 3 games being the Head Coach of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers, because he was not getting paid. He is not an owner. The La Crosse Spartans will fold after this season.

La Crosse Spartans will not fold after this season in my opinion plus the coach will get paid and they are promoting themselves very well in their community and letting them know their is new team there and holdin tryouts in a good location which help even more

I would like to know where you are getting the number of $6,000 a game rent. Even if it is, the arena seats 8,000 people and if they only sell 60% of the tickets at $10 a pop then that's $48,000 in revenue per game which leaves $42,000 after paying the arena people for expenses.
If you see a fault in how the Spartans are doing things then I would like to know but I also know with the collapse of the once sturdy looking AFL indoor football fans are skiddish.
