Australian Football League clubs
History
The Chicago Rush is an Arena Football League team. The team began play in 2001 and is based in Rosemont, Illinois, northwest of Chicago and near O'Hare International Airport. The team plays its home games at Allstate Arena (formerly known as the Rosemont Horizon), the same venue previously used by the Chicago Bruisers, one of the four original Arena Football League teams. The Rush competes in the Central Division of the American Conference. Mike Ditka is an owner of the team.
The Rush have made the playoffs every year in the franchise's short history, but have so far failed to make an Arena Bowl appearance. Most recently, they went to the 2005 AFL playoffs as the #3 seed. They won Round 1 over the Los Angeles Avengers 52-45, but ended up losing the American Conference Championship Game to the eventual Arena Bowl Champion Colorado Crush in overtime, with a final score of 49-43.
