In 1992, Colangelo founded the [[Arena Football League (1987–2008)|Arena Football League]]'s [[Arizona Rattlers]] and owned them until 2005. Under Colangelo's guidance, the Rattlers won [[Arena Bowl]] championships in 1994 and 1997. They were also one of the AFL's model franchises and were a perennial playoff team. According to published reports, the Rattlers struggled to stay afloat as a franchise after Colangelo sold the team.<ref name="rattlers">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsarizonaonline.com/arena-football-league-to-fold-r-i-p-arizona-rattlers| title=Arena Football League to Fold, R.I.P.
