Notable firsts

  • First time since ArenaCup V in 2005 that the game was hosted at the higher seed's home venue (in the meantime, the Cup was held at neutral sites such as Bossier City and San Juan). It is also the first ArenaCup where the home team lost.
  • First ArenaCup ever to go into overtime.
  • First and only ArenaCup win for the Tennessee Valley Vipers, one of the original AF2 franchises who have played eight seasons so far.
