Amidst news reports and rumors that are beginning to swirl about the Arena Football League?s state of affairs, the Boise Burn want to assure fans that the 2009 season will go on as usual.The Arena Football League is a shareholder in the af2, but the af2 operates entirely on its own ? therefore it is not directly affected by the AFL?s current situation. The af2?s single-entity business model has created sound and sensible economic structure ? the league employs all players, coaches and officials.Twenty-five af2 team ownership groups are personally and financially committed to operate in 2009. In addition, the 2009 schedule was finalized and released in early November and teams, including the Boise Burn, are currently building rosters, selling season tickets and hiring additional staff.The af2 league is still growing ? two (2) new expansion teams are already committed for the 2010 season ? Toledo, Ohio (Toledo Bullfrogs) and Worcester, Mass.
