The ArenaBowl is the championship game competed in by the American
Conference and National Conference champions at the end of the playoffs.
An ArenaBowl has been played every season of the AFL's existence and
the winners are awarded the coveted Foster Trophy, named for Jim Foster,
one of the founding members of the AFL and its first commissioner.
While the early ArenaBowls were played at the home site of the better
regular season or higher seeded team, since 2005 the game has been held
in a neutral location with the exception of the 2010 and 2011
ArenaBowls.
The current ArenaBowl champions are the Arizona Rattlers.
