	Arena Football quietly flourishes - The Washington Times: Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Yet AFL is ever so quietly posting some of the strongest growth figures in the entire sports industry, regardless of particular sport or size.

		The two local arenas most obvious for an AFL team — MCI Center and Comcast Center — both appear, at least for now, unworkable due to scheduling, monetary or operational issues, not to mention a less than optimal working relationship between Snyder and Abe Pollin.
