Arena Football League team season
The
2014
Los Angeles Kiss
season
was the franchise's first season in the
Arena Football League
(AFL). The team was coached by
Bob McMillen
and played their home games at the
Honda Center
.
In their inaugural season, the Kiss did well at the box office, finishing second in the AFL (behind
Tampa Bay
) in attendance, drawing 98,505 fans to nine home games (or 10,945 per game). On the field, though, it was a different story: after winning two of their first three games, LA managed just one victory thereafter, finishing 3?15 and missing the playoffs.
