Players are paid between $200.00 and $300.00 a game and coaches are paid also. All travel expenses are paid and uniforms provided. A Western Division is in the works for 2005 as well as expansion into the other areas where there are established teams. If you can meet the requirments for admission for the arena and financially email info to: pifl98@aol.com

Well that is good news...
They're gonna have to scramble though to be ready by April..
Unless of course these teams have already been announced in the cities you have listed...
I am wondering.... Is Kansas City the same old team that played over in Blue Springs, Missouri and were known as the Minutemen?
I see St. Joe has finally had enough.. After the pummeling in the NIFL.. oops.. the National Indoor Football League.. not the Nebraska Indoor...
And then to get creamed in the APFL...
Oh well... Lets hope all of this comes about.... Including the pay scale you listed.... Which.... If all does..... Then the APFL should be afforded a spot on the OSC index..... And also IF they actually get a website that is the APFL and not a subfolder on the Koyotes website...
Cool. I may have some more Electric Football Teams to paint..
398 now and counting...

Dick Suess is PIFL 98
He started the PIFL in 1998 in Denver with the Colorado Wildcats.He is the Grand Father of Indoor Football, he fought the AFL on the patent for football for football indoors. The PIFL left Denver with a rash of bad debt and unfulfilled promises, this was the case in almost every city they had a team in. The PIFL became the IPFL, Kerry Ecklund took his two tems and started the IFL, and the IPFL took on a new owner in Alexandria,LA named CS, who went on to start the NIFL. All these people have links to each other in some way.

That hard to believe
Are you sure there's 8 team. I've only heard of 3 teams Kansas Koyotes, Missouri Minutemen, and Iowa Thunder. When can we expect a schedule? I know that the Iowa Thunder have had 1 tryout, with more to come.

I thought it was the Texas Thunder out of San Antonio not the Iowa thunder.

APFL How are they going to do it?
I just want to know how will the APFL have another team in colorado. Will it be in the springs. I believe there is room for one more team in colorado, because the talent is so good. But how will the apfl pull this off.
Lew in Denver, you are the only one on this board with all the vast knowledge of all the leagues. Do you think they will pull this off? There are a lot of big city names.

Hey Lew in Denver
The first crush game was one of the best games I have ever seen in along time. I really think that changed the whole outcome of the season. Before I saw that game I predicted that they will only win six games. Now I believe they will win ten or tweleve games and make it to the playoffs.
How your attitude changes when you win that first game. No team in the AFL looks dominant this year. It will be any teams championship and the crush just might be that team. Time will tell.
