Pre-season

The 2015 offseason saw major change for the AIF, as the defending champion Baltimore Mariners and Cleveland Patriots both folded and the Rochester Raiders suspended operations. The Cape Fear Heroes left the league to join the X-League Indoor Football. The team had also announced the expansion of the Buffalo Lightning and the Carolina Silverhawks. The Silverhawks had planned on playing in 2015, but decided to plan for 2016 expansion. With only 3 teams remaining from the 2014 season, the AIF expanded on October 10 into Reading, Pennsylvania by taking in the previously independent ASI Panthers.[1] Also joining later in the day on October 10, was the Saginaw Sting, from the Continental Indoor Football League.[2] Just 5 days later, the Chicago Blitz, who had previous announced they would be joining the X-League, joined the AIF.[3] Finally, on December 23, 2014, the Savannah Steam announced they were leaving the X-League to join the AIF.[4]

With the addition of the Sting and Blitz from the CIFL, AIF split into two conferences, American and Continental.
