I would watch it if it were slowed down some and games were more in the 30 point range then 50-70 points
lol people would probably call that boring as shite lol... you go to an Arena game, you need some gimmicks, bc you're not seeing the best of the best pros

not sure what they could do to change that, but to keep my interest they need a true offense and defense rather then the whole team is just 10 guys total where the same 7 play both sides of the ball the whole game.
they changed the rules to get away from "ironmen", and Arena diehards on their message boards HATED it... you needed a different type of athlete that can play both WR and DB, or FB and mack LB

I went to a game in Pensacola years ago. Thought it would be exciting but a 63-56 game got boring really quick. Plus I was trying to explain not only football rules, but Arena football rules to my then gf. Was hating life.

They're a lot of fun to go to, but not great to watch on TV. Shreveport/Bossier had the Battlewings and it was a great time. Especially when Quincy Carter was the QB.

They had games on ESPN 2 last season. I enjoyed the ones I watched.

We had a local indoor football team for a few years in some lesser AFL type league. They came back from a 51-7 deficit at half time. Arena football is a lot of fun, but it's definitely not the same as NFL

I remember going to some AF2 games as a kid when we had the Arkansas Twisters. Thought it was neat that they had a tornado siren go off and had a local meteorologist on the jumbotron talk about how a twister was headed for Little Rock lol. Now I would probably think it's a little cheesy.
It was pretty cool that players could knock each other over the wall on the sidelines though

I'm the kind that faps to 2011 or 2016 Bama-LSU field position games, but the AFL can be a lot of fun.

Saw Herb Tyler play for the Houma team back in the day.

Am I the only person around that went to a New Orleans Night game back in the day? They played in the Superdome and the nets that they had looked like hand-me-downs from other teams.
