Click here to see the full sized map: farm8.staticflickr.com/7375/11665065826_f9a297900e_b.jpgAIFs Washington Eagles were left off the map since they're just a travel-only beat up team and will likely be different non-pro teams in the local areas of wherever they're scheduled per week. If teams want to make my map they need to be full fledged teams with home arenas in a pro league. If my location dots are a tad off I likely won't be moving them, but if you notice a dot that's significantly off then let me know. If the UIFL decides to add more teams, then I'll update the map. I also made individual league maps, but am working on doing something else with them. Many people have done team logo maps, and they probably do them better than I could, so I wanted a map with team names and color coded league affiliation to easily see where teams and leagues were at a glance. If you live in Southeast Pennsylvania, then you have six teams whose home arenas are not far away at all.

By the numbers:
6 = Number of teams in Texas (the most of any state).
6 = Most number of teams within 150 miles of each other (Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, Harrisburgh Stampede, Pennsylvania Steam, Trenton Freedom, York Capitals, and Baltimore Mariners).
5 = Number of teams in Pennsylvania.
4 = Most number of leagues in one state: Pennsylvania (PIFL, CIFL, AIF, XLIF).
4 = Number of teams each in Georgia and Kansas.
3 = Number of teams each in Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Nebraska.
2 = Number of teams each in Alabama, Iowa, and Illinois.

55 teams so far (plus one travel-only beat up team). I'm still waiting on the UIFL to release their schedule though, so there's a chance more teams could be added.

More numbers:
3 = Number of teams with Raiders in their nickname (Richmond, Florida, and Rochester).
2 = Number of teams named Florida (Tarpons and Marine Raiders).
2 = Number of teams named Alabama (Hammers and Outlawz).
2 = Number of teams nicknamed Bandits (Sioux City and San Angelo).
2 = Number of teams nicknamed Patriots (Port Huron and Cleveland).
2 = Number of teams nicknamed Venom (Amarillo and Nashville).
2 = Number of teams nicknamed Sharks (Dayton and Atlanta). One h3ll of a sharknado is likely the only way actual sharks will get to landlocked Dayton and Atlanta.

Yes. It'd be nice if the IFL can get more teams out their way in 2015.

Changes from the last map: CIFL's Chicago Slaughter folded. CIFL added Chicago Blitz. UIFL added Missouri (Springfield) Voodoo.
I also added AIF Washington Eagles travel-only team at the middle bottom. They will get on the bus icon and travel to games (or non-pro players around the team they are playing at may play in their jerseys ... or even their own semi-pro jerseys, ha ha).

Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears. Sports commonly called 'football' in certain places include: association football (known as soccer in some countries); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby football (either rugby league or rugby union); and Gaelic football. These different variations of football are known as football codes. Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the nineteenth century. The expanse of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside of the directly controlled Empire. By the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage. In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. During the twentieth century, several of the various kinds of football grew to become some of the most popular team sports in the world.
