Orlando Predators

Thanks to a friend of a girl Jonathan works with, we are (sort-of) season ticket holders to the Orlando Predators! They are an arena football team. So far we've been to 2 games, and they've won both.

Last night the game was pretty boring. Arena football is fun b/c the scores are always so high, but it was scoreless going into the 2nd quarter. Luckily, the Philadephia Soul's QB was hurt, so their back up was playing. He fumbled the snap (no kidding) 7 times! All those turnovers, and some pretty good defence, allowed us to win 40-something to 20-something.

The best part of the game, for Jonathan, is after the game. They allow fans 10 minutes to run around the field and hound the players for autographs. Jonathan is a huge autograph hound, so while he runs around looking for players, I run around dodging kids playing catch with footballs. The cheerleaders all pass out scanelous pictures of their team and sign them too. Jonathan also likes that part. Last night some guys were having the cheerleader sign their (not very attractive) chests.

Arena football is pretty amusing. I went to a game at the All State (read: Rosemont Horizon) about 9 months ago. I definitely wouldn't put it on par with football, but a fun way to waste an afternoon, nonetheless.
