San Jose SabercatsThe San Jose SaberCats are an Arena Football League team. The Cats began play in 1995. The team plays at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, also the home of the San Jose Sharks franchise of the National Hockey League and the San Jose Stealth of the National Lacrosse League. The SaberCats are one of Arena's premier organizations, having never drawn below 10,000 fans at any of their home games. The SaberCats compete in the Western Division of the American Conference. The SaberCats were ArenaBowl champions in 2002 and 2004, both times beating their rivals, the Arizona Rattlers, for the championship. On June 5, 2004, the SaberCats were fined $20,000 for violations during their Quarterfinal Round playoff game against the Tampa Bay Storm. They were first fined $10,000 for distributing cowbells, without advance approval, to fans entering the building, which was cited as a violation by the AFL as an intentional competitive advantage generated by the creation of artificial noise. Also, during the game itself, the SaberCats refused to apply microphones to certain players and coaches during the NBC broadcast, which led to an additional $10,000 fine. The San Jose Sabercats team colors are Dark teal and Gold with Black as an Alternate. Head coaches Notable players External links
