Fun While It Lasted attendance charts are down temporarily due to a Wordpress plug-in conflict between Visualizer (our favorite charts & tables plug-in) and Tabby Responsive Tabs. We are in contact with the developer to try and resolve the issue so that the 1,000+ historic team & league attendance charts will work again as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

The DuPage Eagles were a strong semi-pro football team that played in Northeastern Illinois from the mid-1980’s through the mid-1990’s. The team was known as the Glen Ellyn Eagles from 1984 to 1986 before switching to “DuPage” in 1987, adopting the name of the county where the team practiced. At their peak, the Eagles captured back-to-back national championship tournaments sponsored by the American Football Association (AFA) in 1992 and 1993.
The New Jersey Rams were one of the nation’s top semi-pro football outfits during the early 1980’s. The team bounced around between various stadia in Bergen and Essex counties between 1977 and 1984, always under the direction of Ed O’Reilly. The Rams rarely lost during the 1980’s and spent much of their final campaign in 1984 atop the Minor Professional Football Association’s national rankings of semi-pro clubs.
