I was sad to see Arena Football collapse. It was a mainstay league.

the biggest issue with AFL that kept me from watching was it was too heavily weighted to be high scoring.

that plus the vastly reduced size of the field

i like offensive scoring games but im not interested in a game where each team scores touchdowns on every possession in an average of 5-10 seconds and the winner is decided simply by who has the ball last.

if area style rules were played on an NFL sized field, then i would watch it, because then there would be some defense involved, and scoring was earned on long scoring drives rather then just being a given and only mistakes caused you to fail to score.

AFL is like basketball, you only need to watch the last 2 minutes of the game because nothing that happened before that matters to who wins
