NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans will host ArenaBowl XXV in 2012.
Officials say the championship event will be the fifth hosted by New Orleans, joining the BCS National Championship game, the NCAA Final Four, the Allstate Sugar Bowl and the 2013 Super Bowl.
AFL Commissioner Jerry B. Kurz said Thursday the city has a tremendous AFL fan base and believes the city is the perfect place to celebrate the league’s 25th anniversary. New Orleans served as the host city for the last two neutral site ArenaBowls in 2007 and 2008.
