Football News is reporting that the newly formed All American Football League will field teams in San Antonio and Sacramento.
The weekly newsletter said Tom Benson, who was once a minority owner of the New Orleans Saints, will purchase the San Antonio Texans franchise from Fred Anderson. Anderson will then return to his California roots and place a team in Sacramento.
Anderson, who once owned the Sacramento Surge of the World League, has said that he has received assurances from local community leaders that the city will approve a plan to refurbish Hornet Stadium.
League commissioner John Ralston said the other AAFL franchises will be located in Miami, Birmingham, Houston, Memphis, Las Vegas, and New Orleans.
