From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jacksonville Tomcats were an American indoor football team that played in the secondary league of the Arena Football League known as af2. The team played home games in Jacksonville, Florida for three seasons. They were one of the original 15 teams to join the inaugural 2000 af2 season. They originally played in the American Conference, then later went to the Southeast division in 2001, and then the Southern Division in 2002. In their first year of play, Jacksonville went 9-7, and just barely made the playoffs. During the post-season, the Tomcats were eliminated quickly by the Norfolk Nighthawks. In 2001, the Tomcats again finished 9-7, but the shoe was on the other foot, as this time, they fell short of the post-season. In 2002, the Jacksonville Tomcats were looking to overcome their last-second elimination from the playoffs. The Tomcats went 8-8, and yet again, fell short of the playoffs. The close losses were too hot to handle for the Tomcats, and folded prior to the 2003 season.
