It’s the Pavillion at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem, OR. There isn’t a bad seat in the building, but yeah. Low roof. Concerts are interesting in there. My lame claim to fame is that Weird Al tapped me on the shoulder there, as he walked through my aisle during his concert. And no it’s not near an airport. That’s on the other side of town, and such a joke of an airport, too. I guess we at least have daily flights to LA and Vegas, so, yay Salem?

I believe ya, bud. I know you’re a good one I glad you felt it was worthy of sharing! I’m not going to lie… when I first walked into the building and didn’t see any goalposts or nets, I felt like Mugatu. Am I taking crazy pills? I’m grateful I held off on buying a ticket and just snagged one when they were made free. I guess we have to pay money if we want the full arena football experience, including nets LOL

Sadly, I am inclined to agree. If the Blackbears complete more than 3 consecutive regular season games, I will be shocked.

I was at that game, and you have quoted my Facebook post nearly verbatim Let’s not copy and paste, please and thank you. OITGDAFL, am I right, arena ball fans?

It’s the number font and treatment that are a big turn-off for me. That “bubble” effect where the outline is rounded on a “sharp” font just reminds me too much of the concepts forum, where someone is using Photoshop for the first time. While the Vikings used it on their jerseys for several years, it just looks unprofessional to me. Sorry!

I just picked up a 2020 XFL Houston Roughnecks ‘47 cap and Seattle Dragons t-shirt, both new w/o tags, for a total of $11 from a local thrift store. It looked like they got a bunch of dead stock, because they had shirts for most of the teams, as well as a handful of caps, most of them NWT. I almost snagged a LA Wildcats cap with the alternate logo, but I didn’t want another black cap in my arsenal.

Knockoff Pants is my new band name.

The Oregon Black Bears just launched their website (https://oregonblackbears.com) and it looks like we have “official” dates for home games. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the schedule does not match the mass schedule release the league provided in November.

I’m not sure if I can link a Facebook post here, but the Oregon Black Bears have released their ticket prices and seating map. Those endzones… https://www.facebook.com/share/yVmaiRPyR9FREy27/?mibextid=K8Wfd2

I find it just as odd. And as for the Florida IG account, the commissioner’s account follows them. I wonder if it was a placeholder if one of the other Florida franchises didn’t move to the AFL…

The Oregon Black Bears (Blackbears? There’s no consensus) shared the same thing on their Facebook page. Also, has anyone heard anything about the Florida Cyclones? https://www.instagram.com/floridacyclones?igsh=ZWI2YzEzYmMxYg==

That bottom image is not an official MLB image. The colors don’t match up correctly, and I’m pretty sure may have come from one of @SFGiants58‘s rebrand/relocation concept threads.

Is there a picture of Gretzky with this dark blue and silver jersey? I only remember pictures of him at the press conference with the white/silver/black jersey.

I know my eyes are old, but, is the R in YORK structured differently than the two R’s in RANGERS? It looks like the open portion is smaller in YORK.

The Blazers’ court should have been plaid. I mean, the organization is run by a bunch of Spaceballs anyway.

That’s been my hunch once it was suggested that the courts were going to be special for the tournament. Aaaaand nevermind. I can only wish it were LED courts

I can’t recall… Did anyone here ever say that the Leafs BFBS was an acronym for Bieber for Bieber’s Sake?

It could be subway walls, but I immediately got MSG roof tile vibes…

Seriously, this league needs to hire a legit press firm, rather than someone from the local high school.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABAHABABBAAB I just saw the story posted on the KGW.com website. I will pull a Chris Russo and retire from the boards if this team actually takes the field. There is no way this is actually happening.

That Wizards look is giving off some 2018/19 Trail Blazers City Edition vibes…

Yeah, it’s actually a little distracting. I don’t know if it’s a Nike fabric change, new lighting at MetLife, or new NBC equipment.

Well, I was today years old when I learned the Seattle Metropolitans name (or logo or both) isn’t owned by the NHL. Does anyone have the history on that?

Lifelong TP fan here, and I caught it immediately. To be fair, I remember when that song was brand new, so, I’m old Also, “what notable impact Indiana has had on pop culture”? Um, David Letterman is still very much alive…
