    Re: Arena Football coming to Pittsburgh

    I love arena football and am thrilled that we're going to be treated to it here in the Burgh! I'll have to adjust my "sports fund", though, to make room for tickets to a couple of games!

    I use to go to Arena Football game in Dallas all the time. For anyone that has been to one, you have to go to at least one. It's a real kick. Be ready for none stop action.

    I went to see a game at Amway Arena in Orlando. It's RIDICULOUS. It's like walking into a sports bar everyone's have a good time and then before you know it an explosion happens and then a Football game breaks out.

    That pretty much sums up Arena Football

    It's awesome. I love going to Arena Football games. I love being so close to the action.

    I say we all get tickets together for the first game and have a big SU Cheering section.

    Hopefully I can make it that day. Or in the least maybe FSN or the CW would have coverage of the game.

    The NFL Network aired the AFL games this year, but I'm sure there's local stations that will cover the games.

    I don't get the NFL Network!!! Thankfully we get the CW, KDKA, WTAE(KDKA and WTAEonly during certain times), and FSN. Although I really watch those networks at select times.

    Hell No... The NBA died 10 plus years ago in my eyes... I haven't watched a game since Jordan retired....

    I hate NBA and so happy we got an AFL team than that. Just never got into the sport, I love to play it, but Arena Football is fast paced and exciting!

    Re: Arena Football coming to Pittsburgh

    I personally could care less about arena football. I love the Steelers and Pitt, but that's it. I love college basketball, with Pitt being my team. I really don't watch the NBA, but if Pittsburgh had an NBA team I would watch.

    Wouldn't be cheating. The NFL has a rule to deal with that. An NFL team can own an Arena team, but any player who gets "promoted" must clear waivers first.

    Haha, all is forgiven. I was only joking with ya.

    What if they go with a heavy goal line set and score a TD (even in Arena ball, they use it sometimes)... is it a power Power TD??

    Im sure they will come up with some corny play name or call, but I still like the sound of it!

    I found this on my cell phone. It's from a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers game last year. Seeing it gets me pumped up for some Arena Football in Pittsburgh!

    Re: Arena Football coming to Pittsburgh

    Woo! Im just wondering if were going to have a huge turnout of a fan base at first or ever. Arena football just has not been a huge success over the years for any teams win or lose and being we are a faithful city who loves our Football and all sports teams how will we show it.

    Re: Arena Football coming to Pittsburgh

    I think the first game will be probably be at least close to being sold-out then it'll probably fizzle out throughout the season. Our Arena holds around 8,000 for Arena Football but we only averaged around 5,500 per game, which really isn't terrible because it's obviously not a huge arena. I think that had a lot to do with the fact that the WBS Pens are much more popular in this area as well as our AAA baseball team (the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees). So I guess we'll have just to wait and see.

    At least we can still use Terrible Towels! haha. Thank goodness all the sports teams in the 'Burgh are Black and Gold.
