Arena Football Indoor Excitement For All
Ages
When the idea first came up for Arena
Football, some people just laugh at it as a mere sideshow. No football
could be played in an arena and prosper. It just didn't make any sense
to football loyalist.
Man were they so wrong. Arena
football has hit heights even its creator could have never dreamed
of..
Jim Foster was the brains behind Arena Football. He was a former NFL
and USFL executive. So Jim had plenty of experience to start his
league taking things from each league and expanding on it. But when
the USFL got started Jim put his league on the shelf. But only for the
time being.
Arena Football wouldn't have to wait long as the USFL didn't fly.
Football fans got their first look at Arena Football in 1986 when a
test game was staged in Rockford Illinois. It was a success. The
football fields are only 50 yards long and 85 feet wide.
The goals posts are smaller than the ones used in the NFL. Arena
Football is non stop action from end to end. High scoring games are
the norm. The Arena Football league is a family fun entertainment that
is very affordable for a family.
The arena is designed where the fans are right on top of the field. It
gives the fans a sense of being part of the game. The Arena league
have their games broadcast on NBC. Arena league teams battle for the
ultimate goal.
The Arena Bowl is what every team strives for. Arena league players
have jumped from the arena league to the NFL. The most notable is Kurt
Warner. You can still see people wearing his Arena football jersey.
