Tonight starts the beginning of the 2011 Arena Football League season, but more importantly it starts the defense of the Philadelphia Soul’s 2008 ArenaBowl championship. The Philadelphia Soul won the ArenaBowl by defeating the San Jose SaberCats 59-56, but soon found themselves without anyone to defend their newly won championship against as the league suspended play in 2009 due to financial reasons. In 2010 Arena Football 1 was formed consisting of many former AFL and af2 teams. AF1 would eventually purchase the assets from the AFL and changed its name to the more commonly known Arena Football League.
