From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the proposed league that was to begin in 1988, for the 2007 indoor football league, see World Indoor Football League (2007)
The World Indoor Football League was a league that was to begin in 1988 to compete with the Arena Football League, which was playing its second season in 1988. Some of the teams in the league ran into financial trouble before their season was to begin, and thus the league never came to fruition.
[edit] The proposed 1988 WIFL lineup:
- Eastern Division
- Baltimore War Eagles (listed as the Baltimore Pride in the local papers)
- Indiana Cougars (owned by John Mellencamp)
- St. Louis Lightning (owned by former NFL player Stump Mitchell)
- Western Division
- Las Vegas Aces
- San Antonio Texans (WIFL)
- San Diego Thunder
