The Vultures are Atlanta's second AIF team, following the Atlanta Sharks who began play in 2014 and folded during the 2015 season.[1]
The Vultures ran into operational issues when they found their home arena lacked quality playing turf. The Vultures would end up cancelling all home games and played three road games during the season, winning two of the three games. However, after winning the third game against the Savannah Steam on April 17, the AIF ruled that the Vultures had played the game using illegal players and reversed the score of the game (essentially making it a forfeit). The Vultures folded and took down their website later that week.[2]
^The Atlanta Vultures actually won this game 32–19, however, the AIF ruled they had used illegal players and reversed the score instead of just changing the game to a forfeit. The Vultures would fold later that week. Remaining games were all considered 0–2 losses by forfeit in the AIF standings
