The Arena Football League Board of Directors met late Wednesday night
and voted not to suspend the 2009 AFL season.

"This is a big step in the right direction for the fans, players and
our league," said Majority Owner Dr. Bob Nucci. "Additionally, we
are excited about our continuing relationship with the St. Pete Times
Forum."

"I am very excited about the Board of Directors decision, yet very
disappointed in the actions of some of our member teams that reported
erroneously the 2009 season would be postponed," said general manager
Tim Marcum. "We have a lot of work to do, but this has been a good
day for our fans, players, coaches and ownership."

The Tampa Bay Storm look forward to the return of many key players
including All-Arena defensive lineman Tim McGill, quarterback Brett
Dietz, wide receivers Hank Edwards and Tyrone Timmons. For 2009
