AFL Commissioner Randall Boe also confirmed that the league's expansion plans for next season would be unveiled during the game; however, these plans were pushed back to several weeks after the game after Boe said that negotiations for the two new teams would not be finished in time. The league ultimately filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on November 27 of that year, making the game the final one in the league's history until the league was purchased in 2023 and the league was revived.
