Arena football is a sport based upon American football. It is played indoors on a smaller field than American football, resulting in a faster and higher-scoring game. The sport was invented in 1986, and patented, in 1990 by James F. Foster, a former executive of the United States Football League and the National Football League. The league's owners chose to cancel the 2009 season to work on developing a long-term plan to improve its economic model.[1]
