Gary Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Going strong in Week 4Alot of people may not like it, but it's a 50 yard field, high scoring action and a great alternate with the NHL out. For those not familiar with the rules here is the AFL 101Also catch the AFL on NBC Sunday Afternoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Replace that 'F' with an 'H' and I'm there! Hell, I already am. I'm not that starved for football, anyway.

pollux Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 That is a good alternative. Since the start of the AFL season I've been hooked on this because the game is really fast! Plus I'm not doing anything on my Sundays, so there's at least something to watch on TV!

yh Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I've been an Arenaball fan since the early days. It's a pretty good game to watch on TV and a hell of a lot more fun to watch in person. I went to just about every St. Louis Stampede game during the 2 years we had an Arena League team and I'm sure I'll be a season ticket holder again if we ever get another franchise.Once you get past the fact that this is not NFL football in style or quality, you'll learn the game's nuances and appreciate the players for who they are and what they do.

I agree with yh, i've been watching Arena Football since 1989 when the Detroit Drive(Greatest team in history) won the Arena Bowl, there was something about it that mesmorised me to the sport. I haven't been away since. I am an Arizona Rattlers supporter. I also use my press pass to get into most of the game. I've been to 4 Arena Bowls and every one of them is an experience. Also we should have some of the Arena Football Logo's in the Chris Creamer site. Yale, I believe the St. Louis Stampede logo is one of the best early logos in the AFL.

See Red Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 It's even better when your team has a kicker that's worth a plop. God damn Crush kicker whos name I choose not to remember.I would also suggest the NLL as an alternative, as it's more like hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm looking forward to the AFL: The Australian Football League Now's a good time to attend an NLL game! I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suigi Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 -Saw the AHL Baby Leafs when they came to Toronto back in December. IT WAS ALWAYS LOUD!! Man, even though there were a few empty seats, the crowd broke 110 dB. And believe me, it was nice to see more blue-and-white jerseys than business suits in the Hangar. AND DOUG GILMOUR WAS THERE!-Will try and go see the Toronto Rock. $24 tix...I'm there.

rockchalk Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I went to a Tulsa Talons AF2 game their first season and it was a blast. I can't wait until either KC or St. Louis gets an AFL team, I'll be waiting in line. I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMUBrent Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Detroit had an Arena League team for a few years, the Detroit Fury. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. I think I'll stick with Flint Generals and Ferris State Bulldogs hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 i'm not shocked that the Fury folded...after all, they weren't the Drive and never came close to holding the worst Drive team's jocks...wait, there as many great Fury teams as there were crappy Drive teams-none. didn't help the Fury any that they were a joke and the Drive were a f'ing dynasty. If they'd been the ressurected Drive, they would still be around.I been watching Arenaball for over a decade, and the only problem I got is the teams i start following end up moving or folding all the time (Barnstormers, Mustangs, Thunderbears, OK Wranglers, original Kats). Here's to hoping the Rush and new Kats stick around for a while.oh yeah, stemming from the days of the Mustangs, (bleep) the Rampage and (bleep) Clint Dolezel A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm not much into Arena football, but it's football. That's good enough for me. Gets me warmed up before CFL starts.Pollux, are you an Als fan too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatCityEnforcer Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like the AFL...it's some good stuff and at least it makes the weekends when the local UHL team is on the road go by a tad faster I went quite a bit when the Coyotes and Sea Wolves called the HCC home...I'd go to a game, but the closest team is out on the Island (the Dragons) and I don't really like making the trip there.
