It seems Louisville won't go AFL until the 2010 season when the new Downtown arena opens up. It seems, they will get the wheels turning now to make it a smoother tranistion after next season.

There is also a team starting in Saskatoon next season, either moved by MacGregor or a new team entirely. Milwaukee is a definite and Texas is moving somewhere. New Mexico probably won't be starting and as for the Wildcats I have not heard anything about a fold or move. Daytona Beach is dead, not moving, and I have not heard anything about a Tallahassee team in the af2.

There have been a few others mentioned ...

There has been talk about a few other cities here and there:

- Yakima was looking into get a team.
- Kent, Wash, outside of Seattle.
- Carolina or Charlotte area.
- Maybe Rochester, NY (why would the AIFA owner have a team in Buffalo and not put Roch in the same league)

Buffalo will not be getting a af2 team, would not be surprised if they get a CIFL team or a team from a new league

Copperheads to Jax,,,,Daytona is done and no word is not out yet on SGW. They are going to wait till play off's are over. Milwaukee is a done deal. HC of SGW is shopping his resume around.

I've also heard that Arkansas may be done after this season.

As far as I know, it's still business as usual. I guess thats why they call them rumors. We shall see.

Why would they close up shop? That makes no sense. Ironic, you have an IFL logo on your name (which is cheesy by the way) and you are spreading gossip about af2.
