Arena League memories

Loved the AFL on NBC back in the 00’s, used to go to Voodoo games relatively often, which were a blast and pulled great crowds to the NOLA arena. They even had the Arena Bowl in New Orleans, for some reason I couldn’t go.

I went to the 2007 Arena Bowl. Was a blowout and one of the most boring live sporting events I ever attended lol. Voodoo games were fun tho.

Made a drinking game out of it where we took a shot every time they compared it to the "outdoor game". Also, have many fond memories of going to GB Blizzard games with my Dad

After one of the first Voodoo games, I met then-commissioner David Baker on the field. Dude was just standing off to the side and I got a pic with him - dude was stoked that someone recognized him. 
Now he works for the NFL Hall of Fame I believe. Super nice guy.

Wasnt much of a VooDoo fan.
Went once.
Was a much bigger fan of the Night.
The games in the Dome were wild!

Loved the Voodoo and the Bayou Bucks(Houma) for those that didn't know we had a team

Fricking ESPN killed the arena league. Bought all the rights, and televised one game a week (during the week) with Mike and Mike of all people.
It had really flourished with NBC showing multiple games a weekend and treating it like a big deal, and the league having regional broadcasts for the other games.

I got downvoted in the Saints game thread the night Brees broke the NFL passing record for pointing out that Baker was the former AFL Commish who brought those 2 Arena Bowls to NOLA when he was there to get the ball from Brees to bring to Canton

We had the Louisiana Rangers here in Alexandria for two seasons. Went to maybe two or three games and one game the final score was 90-70 something. It was insane

Remember the NO Night that played in the Dome in the 90's, before the arena was built.

The video game released that was like NFL Blitz was badass

the most interesting part of that image...
is that a baseball diamond going down the middle of the field?
I know LSU & Tulane would play baseball games in the Dome... as would some MLB exhibitions be played there (I went to 1 of those... Red Sox vs. White Sox IIRC)

No, it looks to be a straight line, different shades of turf. They used the basketball configuration during the games.

Was at the Texas Terror’s lone win in 96

are those prices for season tickets??
if that's a single game ticket... those prices would be absurd... even for Saints games in the early 90s

i got to attempt a FG (from midfield) at halftime for one.
make it and i win VIP tickets (suite tickets, hotel, etc. for the Arena Bowl that was in Nola that year).
first thing that caught my attention was how much higher the crossbar was.
was sooooo worried about having the height, that i got way under the ball.
kicked it straight enough, but looked like a pooch punt.
high as hell, buy well short of goal post.

I believe those are season tickets..
I paid 17K for my first truck in 1991..
