The Albany Conquest are a professional arena football team of the af2 based in Albany, New York. Albany was granted an expansion team in 2002. The Conquest play their home games at the Times Union Center. They are the second arena football team for Albany, as the city was granted an expansion team, the Albany Firebirds, in the Arena Football League in 1990. The team moved to Indianapolis, Indiana in 2000, and played as the Indiana Firebirds from 2001-2004 before disbanding.
The 2008 Conquest are led by local Capital Region product Dan Cole. A former QB for the RPI Engineers in Troy, NY, Dan had a tryout with the New England Patriots after his graduation from RPI in which he led the Engineers to the 2003 NCAA DIII Final Four. After seeing him lead the Conquest to an overtime victory in the 2008 home opener is it clear to see that Cole is destined for greatness in this league and beyond. He has a live arm and very good size for a QB at 6'2, 220 lbs. He can make all the throws and has good mobility. As a team Captain, his leadership skills will be what makes this team. Latly he has been missing easy throws. in their most recent game against the Pioneers he was replaced in the 4th quarter by back up Jake Deluise who later scored a TD, this had lead people to believe he lost his starting job.
