Trenton Lightning League: Indoor Professional Football League (IPFL) Home: Trenton, New Jersey Active: 2001

The Trenton Lightning appeared to be a solid IPFL expansion franchise in 2001, but things quickly unravelled on and off the field. First, the team developed a habit of losing close games. A tough defense could not make up for the league's worst offense. Meanwhile, owner Phil Subhan ran into legal trouble, and despite strong attendance, the Lightning folded without winning any of its six games.
