raz Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Arizonan here, the move to Glendale will cost the Rattlers some fans. It's an extra half hour drive w/o traffic, light rail doesn't go there, etc. Don't know how popular a new team will be but I'm guessing it'll have a shot.

MJWalker45 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Minnesota Myth? Sounds like a women's X League team and not an Arena League team. The Fighting Pike was right there!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if we were talking about the Suns or Coyotes. But they're also playing once a week so I don't think it'll be a bad thing in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they've managed to make a deal with the big arenas in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like the point in cryptocurrency fever where someone would mint something called like "ScamCoin" and buyers would line up around the block for it. They are trying to tell you and seeing if you are willing to not listen. 2 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

That'd be interesting. I know they had a semi-pro indoor football team there in the late '90s. That building is incredibly old as well, I hope it's still in good shape. Personally haven't been in there since they stopped hosting HS hockey games about a decade ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk-Off Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 So this version of the AFL will launch with a Nashville Kats team and a Georgia Force team, huh? I can remember when the original AFL's original Nashville Kats moved to Atlanta and became the first version of the Georgia Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but then the Kats came back a few years later, in one of those cheesy Cleveland Browns deals that spits in the eye of history, and were in the league alongside the Force.

raz Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 With all these teams coming out of nowhere day after day, it's starting to feel like the ABA 2000, where if you had $50 and a basketball, you, too, could have a franchise. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
