Chicago Politicians


 

The Chicago Politicians were a team formed in 1986 by Arena Football League founder Jim Foster to play an initial "test game" in Rockford, Illinois versus the Rockford Metros at the Metro Center. The test must have been deemed successful, as a four-team "demonstration season" was held the next year, and Arena football has been played every year since. Some of the Politicians went on to play for the Chicago Bruisers and the other charter Arena teams, the Denver Dynamite, Pittsburgh Gladiators, and Washington Commandos.
