The Pittsburgh Power Thread

[salamander]

I thought since the AFL is making it's return to the 'Burgh, it would be a cool idea to start a thread for the Pittsburgh Power. The idea of this thread is just like the Pens Tidbits thread. Whenever there's an article or anything pertaining to the Power or you just want to talk about the team, we can post it here. Not only that, we can also use this for Game Day discussions when the season kicks off in the spring (again, just like the Pens Tidbits thread). So if you see anything that has to do with the Power, let's see it!

That work?

Not quite what I had in mind

Word is that the Power will open the 2011 season at home against the Philadelphia Soul. The game will be televised on the NFL Network (which is where the AFL airs all it's games). As soon as I get definite confirmation, I will post it.

So both teams in the Consol Energy Center open their seasons against Philadelphia. That's awesome.

Put Goodell in charge and they will be finished before week 2.

This is a Goodell-free zone.

I know I am! I was a season ticket holder for the Arena Football minor league that we had out here (the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers) but the owner decided to sell the team to become part owner of the Philadelphia Soul... who ironically we're playing in week 1.

TRUST ME, I know the feeling. I'm a poor 21 year old college student.

I definitely want to make it out to the opening game. I think it'll definitely be fun. I'm curious to see the configuration for football will be inside of the Consol Energy Center will be. Most of the time you lose a whole section of seats for arena football games.

Two poor college dudes haha nice! Ya first game for sure, though that game may be expensive I think until people cling onto the idea of AFL games will be cheap and I will take advantage of that.
