The revived Arena Football League will have 16 — or maybe 17? — teams, but not a single one in our backyard. The AFL announced its team locations Tuesday ahead of its scheduled 2024 relaunch. And the tri-state area was shut out. Travelle Gaines, the league's deputy commissioner, said on Twitter the AFL tried to have a franchise in Albany, 'but it didn't work out, not by our efforts.' Apparent Albany complications aside, it is not a huge surprise the region was skipped over. Spring/summer football just does not work here.
