Rescued by rjhankeyNEW STANDING TABLE The Arena Football League plays during Spring and Summer when the NFL is in its off season. There are several differences between these two leagues, the largest of which, besides the level of talent, is that Arena Football play with a 50 yard field opposed to the traditional 100.
