If the Arena Football League comes back next season, it will be without the Los Angeles Avengers, one of the more successful franchises in the circuit.
If the Arena Football League comes back next season, it will be without the Los Angeles Avengers, one of the more successful franchises in the circuit, as team officials announced yesterday they were folding operations.
"The entire Avengers organization extends heartfelt thanks to the fans who cheered on their team," according to a statement posted on laavengers.com. "It was their faithful support that kept the Avengers vibrant and energized for nearly a decade."
The team ranked seventh in attendance in 2007-2008 with an average of 13,590, but team officials said it was first in terms of actual turnstyle counts and revenue. The absence of a firm business plan for the league led team officials to pull the plug on operations.
