In 2010, the Alabama Vipers announced they would leave Huntsville, and would move to suburban Atlanta as the second incarnation of the Force for the 2011 AFL season, once again playing home games at Arena at Gwinnett Center.

"With all of the outreach, marketing, community and public relations that we put forward, it would have been impossible to not know that we were playing here, and the city simply did not respond.

"[2] In November 2023, a third incarnation of the Georgia Force was announced as a member of the reconstituted Arena Football League beginning play in 2024.

This franchise was originally slated to play home games at the Georgia State Convocation Center in Atlanta, although this never came to fruition.

Being unable to secure a home venue, the league scheduled the franchise as a traveling team playing every game in 2024 as a visitor.

The Kats would return to Nashville as an expansion team in 2005 (in a situation similar to the National Football League's Cleveland Browns).

Upon selling the team to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank in September 2004, it was announced that the franchise would return to the downtown Philips Arena for the 2005 season in response to fan desires as expressed in a poll.

With new team management under Arthur Blank, and under the direction of head coach and Chicago Bears legend Doug Plank, season highlights included a conference-best 11–5 record, and undefeated home record (8–0), a division title, a National Conference Championship, and a trip to ArenaBowl XIX.
