If there was an arena FB team in Baton Rouge that played games in the River Center, would the community get on board? I feel like it would be pretty cool. Not sure how the league works and what size cities get a team but that would be cool.

Man, folks have been trying to get minor league football and hockey leagues to work for decades and none have really panned out.

Baton Rouge only cares about two things. Crappy beer and LSU.

The Arena Football League is down to 4 teams, the league is dead.

I liked arena football. Houma of all places had a team, and while I didn't really follow it, the games were a good time.

Minor league sports never work in BR for whatever reason. It's all LSU

Arena football is the trashiest sport ever conceived. It’s like 4 times trashier then pro wrestling or mms

Baton Rouge had an Arena football team years ago called the Baton Rouge Blaze. I think there was a Lafayette team as well.

New Orleans had the Voodoo for a few years, which was in the Arena Football League, but I think the AFL only has 4 or 5 teams in it now.. So I do think people, anywhere, is really getting on board with AFL.
