The Arena Football League (AFL) will return to Albany, NY with the team beginning play at the Times Union Center starting in the spring of 2018. The soon-to-be-named team marks the first time the city has been represented in the AFL since leaving the market in 2000. The Arena Football League, founded in 1987, will be entering its 31st season of play in 2018.
As of today, December 15, 2017, the Arena Football League’s newest team has secured deposits for 1,000 season tickets.
“The support from the Capital Region has been unbelievable,” said Vice President of Business Operations George Manias. “We are more than excited to deliver a consistent, quality entertainment product to our dedicated fans.”
The team has yet to announce a name, logo, or uniforms, but all will happen within the coming weeks as the organization builds a team to be ready for the inaugural game, which is expected to be in early April.
“One-thousand is a great milestone, and we look forward to continued team growth” said Manias. “I am confident that our fans will continue to buy tickets and give us a true home field advantage throughout the entire season!”
Fans can secure their season tickets for the new Albany arena football team now with a $50 deposit per seat ($75 for VIP seats) by calling 518-533-2200 or by going to AlbanyAFL.com. A team representative will contact those that have submitted a deposit in the upcoming 1-2 weeks to select their specific seats, which will be done in order in which deposits were received.
