A local ownership group will announce the return of Arena Football to Albany today live from the Hearst Media Center. The event will be broadcast live on the Times Union Facebook page.

The team, which the public will get chance to name, will play its 2018 season at the Times Union Center, according to John Adams, president of the Philadelphia Soul.

The Soul’s ownership group is joining with local business owners to run the Albany team. The local ownership group is made up of George Hearst III, publisher and CEO of the Times Union; Dan Nolan, president and CEO of Hugh Johnson Advisors; Ed Swyer, a local businessman.

Members of the Soul's ownership group, including former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski and former NFL coach Dick Vermeil, will be at today's announcement.
