I saw it a couple days ago. That throws yet another wrench in the "old guard" plans. I fully expect to see an ownership group attempt to revive the market in the AFL.

Arena Football could still return to Michigan, and could still even be called the Grand Rapids Rampage. The name is owned by the league, so that owner really had no right to use the name in his statement folding the team. Someone will move in there and be the Grand Rapids Rampage, playing in the AFL which that statement again says is gone...

I doubt its dead. I'm sure someone will fill the empty shoes. Maybe that IFL team in Grand Rapids will flip sides next year.
