AIF Announces East Schedule
Published on February 10, 2012 under American Indoor Football (AIF) News Release
The AIF announced the release today of its 2012 Eastern Conference Schedule consisting of seven teams. In these tough economic times the AIF saw the need to develop a business model that would have a positive impact on its member teams giving each team the opportunity to maximize their revenue streams and profitability. Out of the seven AIF east teams five are full members and two are affiliate members, each full member team will play a seven game schedule and each affiliate member will play either a four or five game schedule.
Full member teams will be the Carolina Force, Cape Fear Heroes, Macon Steel, Maryland Reapers and Harrisburg Stampede with each of these teams playing a minimum of 4 home games. Affiliate team members will be the Tri-States Redhawks and the Virginia Badgers, those teams will play a limited schedule in 2012 as they build their programs and secure arenas in the future.
Exciting play and family entertainment are still a main focus of the AIF as many returning players and coaches have signed on for the 2012 season including head coaches Charles Gunnings (Cape Fear Heroes) and Bernie Nowotarski (Harrisburg Stampede) both of who have guided teams to a national championship in indoor football.
