(Arena football) LA KISS folds
Gene Simmons' endeavor fails and thus the AFL has lost five teams recently. Time for the AFL to go the way of the dinosaur.

What kind of capital had Simmons invested in the team?

Saw that ticker hit ESPN at lunch.

Not sure what the AFL should do--didn't they fold once before? I wonder what the average franchise needs to stay afloat. I barely remember the Carolina Cobras in Charlotte a while back.

The problem is the AFL is no longer the only arena football league or even the most prominent one.

AFL, af2, and the IFL are the ones I know of. The IFL (Indoor Football League) is the largest one now in terms of teams, and one of the AFL teams left to join the IFL last year. There is also the Legends Football League, formerly known as the Lingerie Football League.

I remember right before they folded, the AFL was getting pretty high ratings and attendance by as far as non-NFL football leagues go. Then the Great Recession hit and they haven't recovered since, perhaps the gimmick wore thin with the public as time went on as well.

There just isn't the ability to draw minor league baseball-sized crowds in arenas designed for NBA/NHL franchises anymore.
