HIDALGO, TX: November 10, 2004 – The arenafootball2 announced the 2005 division alignment today from its offices in Chicago, and the Rio Grande Valley Dorados are moving into the National Conference’s West Division.

This season, the af2Â’s 20 teams will play in a two-conference four-division format. The Dorados will be joined in the West Division by the Bakersfield Blitz, Central Valley Coyotes (Fresno, CA), San Diego Riptide, and the Tulsa Talons.
