brooksdiamond Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Just curious how many people that visit this site can claim what I can claim. Not to brag, just tofind out if anyone has attented at least one game in the following defunct leagues: WFL, ABA(old aba), WHA, USFL, and XFL? I have. You'd probably have to be at least 42, I guess, as I am. Isaw the Indiana Pacers play the Kentucky Colonels in the ABA, I saw the Indianapolis Racers play the Cincinnati Stingers in the WHA, I saw the Orlando Renegades play the Memphis Showboats in the USFL, I saw the Philadelphia Bell play the Florida Blazers in the WFL and I saw the Orlando Rage play the Chicago Enforcers in the XFL.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Is the current womens professional league the WFPL? WPFL? They played their national title game here at Papa John's Stadium. It was $10 to get in and I thought about going for the event, but I think did something more productive. Like order pizza. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timparry Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I can add the original WLAF to your list, though it's not really defunct.The New York/New Jersey Knights let pretty much anyone in the press box, as long as they wrote a story. I was with a suburban weekly newspaper as its sports editor. On one side of me was someone from a paper in Japan that spoke 3 words of English. On the other side was someone from an alternative weekly which focused on environmental issues. I know, it's OT, but I'll throw this in: The Orlando Thunder uniforms were as bright green in person, too! They wore them in NY/NJ as the Knights wore black.

Did the Colonels play the Memphis TAMS/Sounds/Pros? I know Memphis played Georgetown in Toronto before the Raptors came to "gauge" basektball at that arena, but I want to say the story at the time was that this wasn't the first time a Memphis team had played in Toronto.

mustangdmg Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I caught a couple of USFL games. In '83, it was the Arizona Wranglers. Then in '84, they merged with Oklahoma, the Arizona Outlaws. I can't remember which year but they played the Jersey Generals. I was a huge Flutie fan after moving from Mass.

Mister Vicious Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Went to 3 XFL games, my company had season tickets to the Las Vegas Outlaws. The cheerleaders were hot, I got to meet Brian "The Boz" Bozworth and ended puching the drunk guy sitting behind me in the nose. All and all, a pretty good time. ha ha! The only thing missing from this lil' slice of heaven was the monster truck and the tractor pull. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
