Heroes take on Stampede for AIF Eastern Conference Championship

Post by 50 Yard Fan » Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:07 pm

The undefeated Cape Fear Heroes take on the once beaten Harrisburg Stampede on June 9th, 2012 in Fayetteville, NC at the Crown Coliseum, game time is 7:30 pm.

The Stampede featuring some of the best talent in the AIF had their only loss of the season on May 19th against the Heroes. Since that matchup the Heroes have gone on to beat the Concord Force in their last regular season game and earned a first round bye in the AIF playoffs as well as the conference regular season title while the Stampede went on to beat the Concord Force 52-12 in the first round of the AIF playoffs.

Both of these teams know each other well and the game expects to be a hard fought exciting game. The Heroes have also expanded their tailgating events for this game which start at 4 pm and have added such items as the Gamin Ride, Larry Alexander a local impersonator as well as music and other activities.

Gamin’ Ride is a Mobile Interactive Entertainment Center on wheels that brings the fun right to your doorstep! Their mobile theater immerses 24 guests into a 4D interactive party Experience courtesy of their vibrating simulation seating, game scents and XBOX 360, PS3, Wii and the Ultimate in High-Definition Gaming. Their on-board interactive event hosts help create the Experience and capture the memories, all the while keeping guests on their toes with a slew of activities, games and contests

:confused: AIF Eastern Conference Championship :confused:

The league is going to drag one of the western travel teams out east to play :rolleyes: a championship game? Or more likely, dress up some local team.

The league really only has three real teams when you think about it. Cape Fear, Concord, and Harrisburg.

I agree with you, it's probably going top be some local outdoor semi-pro team.

If the AIF is a league again next year, it will probably only return those three teams, and it will add a bunch of teams that will end up failing like they did in 2012... either by suspension, folding, or being turned into travel teams.

Harrisburg will play Cape fear, winner will play concord force for championship. There is no western conference anymore. Whatta league. In John Morris 's eyes this season was a success. To everyone else, they are cleaning the bottoms of their shoes because they stepped in it and smell pretty bad. If he actually dresses a semi pro outdoor team, it would solidify the AIF as one of the biggest scams in sports history.

2012 AIF has to rank in the top five worst ran indoor leagues in history. Unless you ask John Morris. LOL

Harrisburg already defeated the Force in the 1st round of playoffs. Tonight's game between Harrisburg and Cape Fear should be considered the championship. If there is a "championship" game next week, anything other then the real Ontario Warriors team playing against the Stampede/Heroes winner should be considered a fraud. I agree if John Morris insists on having a championship game next week and presents a semi pro team as the West champions it should be considered one of the biggest frauds in indoor football history.

Fayetteville article says the winner will play the California Eagles

Heroes ready for Eastern Conference championship battle with Harrisburg

Veteran lineman Quincy Malloy gave a subtle pep talk to the Cape Fear Heroes defensive unit Thursday in their final preparations for tonight's American Indoor Football duel against Harrisburg.

"I told them it was time to focus and be at the top of their game,'' Malloy said.

The Heroes, who closed out the regular season with a 7-0 record, will meet the Stampede (7-1) at 7:30 p.m. in the Crown Coliseum for the AIF's Eastern Conference Championship. The winner advances to the AIF championship game against the California Eagles (3-2).

The California Eagles organization folded last April. Now, the AIF may dress players from who knows where as the California Eagles but they won't bear any resemblance to the team that played in Stockton.

There was no official press release, but an article said they folded according to the players. The California Eagles web site states, on April 23rd, they were taken over by the league and will be practicing next week on Monday at WoodField Park in Stockton. Of course the team has not played since April 7th.

I am guessing someone like the Chattanooga Generals will be dressed as the Eagles

It's one thing to bill a bunch of uniforms as an AIF team in a regular-season game... but to call it a league "championship" game might just be actionable fraud... wouldn't it?
