    The San Jose SaberCats are back in business.

    The successful team that disbanded when the Arena Football League went on hiatus after the 2008 season will be returning next spring.

    "Our goal has always been to be part of the arena league again," said Darren Arbet, the former SaberCats coach who is joining the ownership group. "We're just excited to be back in 2011. It's going to be the same everything."

    He's not kidding. The new version of the SaberCats will be much like the old version.

    The team's ownership group once again will be led by electronics store retailer John Fry. The plan is to have the same logo and uniform colors. And Arbet said the expectation is for the team to once again play at HP Pavilion.

    "This has happened so quickly that we haven't had a chance to talk to them yet," Arbet said. "But I'm sure we're going to be at the arena. They like us, and we love them. It's a really good fit."
