We'll see. The IFL had largely filled the gap (even has multiple ex-AFL teams) and the relaunch of the XFL and USFL kinda makes the whole proposition questionable.

Indoor football is at least very different than the Xfl or Usfl.

It seemed to be doing well back in the day. Did it grow too big too fast as they do go to an AFL2 I believe.

Hope it works out for them, but even when I lived in the same town as the former IFL Chicago Slaughter team I never really felt compelled to actually go to a game.

I’ll at least casually root for the Rush if Chicago gets a team back.
