Step back in time with this vintage-inspired Roanoke Steam Virginia Arena Football tee, commemorating the short-lived but exciting indoor football team that energized fans from 2000-2002. The Steam quickly generated buzz in the Roanoke Valley as part of the af2 developmental league, bringing the fast-paced, high-scoring indoor game to the Roanoke Civic Center. Despite creating an enthusiastic initial following with their unique brand of football entertainment, the team struggled with the challenges of a saturated sports market and financial sustainability issues common to emerging arena football franchises of that era, ultimately folding after just three seasons.
