The AFLWA gets it straight from the league's player
AFLWA PLAYERS' POLL: WEEK 4

Miami is the place to go when it comes to expansion, according to this week's players poll conducted by the Arena Football League Writers Association (AFLWA).

The league's players were asked what their top choice was for expansion beyond Salt Lake City, which will enter the AFL next season. Miami received 28.1 percent of the vote.

Most of the voting was spread out, though. Washington, at 15.6 percent, was the only other city to receive more than 10 percent.

In fact, support went to 15 locales, including such places as Mexico, Jackson (Miss.) and Gary (Ind.). Ohio even received 6.3 percent. Where in Ohio was unclear.

After Salt Lake City, where should the AFL expand to next?
Miami 28.1%
Washington, D.C. 15.6%
Seattle 9.4%
Boston 6.3%
Des Mpines 6.3%
Ohio 6.3%
Nine others 3.1%
