What Football Fans Do in the Offseason
Arena Football a Great Substitute for the NFL
Embed:
"What football fans do in the off season" is the motto for the 2007 Cincinnati Jungle Kats. "Wait, what? Cincinnati Jungle Kats?" cries out the average John Q. Public. "I thought Cincinnati already had a football team!" cries the average Jane Doe.
Actually, she is right. Cincinnati does have a football team in the Cincinnati Bengals. But, they play in the NFL, who is in the middle of a somewhat subdued off season. The Jungle Kats are just one of hundreds of teams who believes in playing in buildings like theirs, US Bank Arena.
Mr. and Mrs. Public, welcome to Arena Football.
When the outdoor people who battle in the cold, rain, snow, mud, sun, clouds, heat, etc. are busy golfing and fishing and vacationing, thousands of unknowns are under the lights of arenas all over the country trying to get their name noticed, even by thousands.
