The Macon Steel folded on May 6, 2012, due to financial difficulties. At the time, then-Steel head coach Ervin Bryson announced he was going to form a new American Indoor Football team for Macon called the Macon Irons to start play in 2013,[1] but the team never came to fruition.

The Steel was the second arena/indoor football team to be based in Macon, following the af2's Macon Knights, which played from 2001 until 2006.[2][3] Macon would not get another indoor football team until the Georgia Doom began play in 2018.
