ArenaBowl

The ArenaBowl is the Arena Football League's championship game.

Beginning with ArenaBowl XIX in 2005, the game is played at a neutral site. ArenaBowl XXII took place on July 27, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana, with the American Conference Champion San Jose SaberCats facing the National Conference Champion Philadelphia Soul. The Soul won the game, 59-56.

The Pittsburgh Gladiators relocated in 1991 to become the Tampa Bay Storm.
The Nashville Kats relocated in 2002 to become the Georgia Force. The Kats were brought back as an expansion team in 2005 and assumed all former team history up to the point when the original Kats relocated to Georgia. The Force are regarded as a completely separate team and keep records from their establishment in 2002 to the present, similar to the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens situation in the NFL.
