This has to be where they are going to practice not play their home games. You know there was going to be a league, PIFL, and there was to be a team called the New York Empire and they were to play our of victory sports arena in Staten Island. The NJ Revs practiced there one year and the field was only like 40 yrds long , no way suitable for competetive play, no stands. Kinda like the facility the ICFL uses for game play, but they dont even have ebdzones of yark markers pained on the field, just play on the soccer field. This has to be another fraud perpetrated by John Morris, what a joke.

Point is there is no suitable facility in Sacramento outside of what was called ARCO Arena where the Kings play and that way too expensive. I do believe the stated venue where this team does plan to play

Actually, here's another (more legit) indoor team trying to start up...the Sacramento Wild Dogs (they're trying to get the Power Balance Pavilion for their games)

From their Facebook page

The season will start in April, and if we don't get into the IFL we will play an independent schedule

I do believe the stated venue where this team does plan to play[/quote] this is the same problem faced in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. Izzod and Prudential center are like $30,000 a night and seat like 20,000 Trenton, considered too far for most northern jersey to travel, seats like 9,000. Great arena but location. Dont know the costs on that one, BONDO would know best. NJ Revs played in a smaller venue , only problem was a low ceiling so kicking game effected. Question, is the proposed venue in Sacramento suitable for Professional indoor football considering where most of the other teams play? What is the seating capacity and how can the team survive if limiting seating capacity. Ticket sales are a revenue maker. Looks as if seating only on one side and can they configure field to meet league standards, oh wait this is Morris endevour, no standards.

There's a rumor the Trenton will fold, Harrisburg HAS folded, Baltimore doesn't have a team (not yet, anyway), The and there's a rumor that the Fayetteville Force will become the MARYLAND FORCE.

Let's face it, guys. The American Indoor Football League, as we know it now, is D-E-A-D!!!!

Salisbury MD and the Wicomico Convention Center is a perfect venue. Wildwood, NJ and the Oceanfront Arena at the Wildwood Convention Center could be an option for a team marketed to the year round population of the lower jersey shore.

Salisbury? Hmmmm, it just might work! The DelMarVa Shorebirds have been there for years, so it just might work!!!

The Salsbury Steaks. They can come on to the field to ZZ Tops "TV Dinners."
Game day announcer wrote:"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome to the field the Steaks mascot, 'Lumpy Gravy!'"
