10 TV: Arena football and the Columbus Destroyers won't be returning to Nationwide Arena anytime soon. The Arena Football League's owners have voted to suspend the league indefinitely...
The AFL cancelled the 2009 season last December after the New Orleans franchise shut down and the economic downturn threatened the survival of other teams. Columbus Destroyers majority partner Jim Renacci had been working with other owners to try to revive the league for 2010.
The president of the Tampa Bay franchise posted a note on his Facebook page over the weekend that the AFL was suspending operations indefinitely. Renacci confirmed the news Monday evening to The Columbus Dispatch. The AFL was founded in 1987, and the Destroyers had been playing in Columbus since 2004.
