Here we have Media Guides from the virtually countless franchises of the original Arena Football League (1987-2008). Nearly every franchise produced a colorful & informative guide during the league’s 22-year run, with the exceptions of the years 1987 and 1989 when the league ran what amounted to demonstration seasons for potential investors. In those years, the league office produced league-wide media guides, but we’ve never seen any team issues for the 1987 or 1989 seasons.
At the bottom of this gallery, you will also find .PDF downloads of digital media guides from teams of the “new” Arena Football League launched in 2010 out of the bankruptcy of the original league. In keeping with the general trend in pro sports, few of the new AFL clubs produce printed guides. Most migrated to digital publishing (when they produced anything at all). The revived Arena Football League went out of business amidst yet another bankruptcy in November 2019.

Hi there, is it possible to obtain or buy the 1995 and 1996 media guides for the Connecticut Coyotes? Trying to surprise one of the former players with a nostalgic gift for Christmas. Looking forward to hearing back. Thank you so much for your time. Was so excited to have found your site!
Hi Hina, Thanks for reaching out. We’re no longer in the business of selling memorabilia. Your best bet is to check eBay or Mercari.
