The Philadelphia Yellow Jackets are a professional indoor football team and a member of American Indoor Football set to begin play for the 2016 season. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Yellow Jackets play their home games at the Class of 1923 Arena on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.
In addition to being Philadelphia's second arena/indoor team (after the Philadelphia Soul currently playing in the Arena Football League), the Yellow Jackets are named in honor of (and their visual identity is designed after) Philadelphia's first National Football League team, the Frankford Yellow Jackets. The original Yellow Jackets played in the NFL from 1924 until 1931 (and notably won the 1926 NFL championship).
History
On June 11, 2015, the AIF announced the Yellow Jackets would be joining for the 2016 season. The "P-Y-J" are owned by Joe Krause, owner of the Indoor Gridiron League.[1]
