  Columbus Lions Benched as National Arena League Cancels Season
  THE LIONS WERE ENTERING THEIR 14TH SEASON
  The Columbus Lions and Head Coach Jason Gibson were geared up to kickoff their fourteenth season of arena football, but the coronavirus not only postponed but ended their season. The National Arena League announced on Friday, June 12 that the season was over.
  The Lions never even had the opportunity to put on pads for training camp this season. Their first game was originally scheduled at the Columbus Civic Center on Friday, April 17 against the Jacksonville Sharks.
