The Arena Football League (AFL) was founded in 1987 as an American football indoor league. Arena football is a sport similar to American football. It is played indoors on a smaller field than American football, resulting in a faster and higher-scoring game. The sport was invented and patented by James Foster a former executive of the United States Football League and the National Football League. As the Arena Football League approaches its 23rd season, there is certainly a lot to be thankful for this time of year.
