Are you ready for some football?!
The Arena Football League season
will kick off this Friday, March 27, when the Cleveland Gladiators square off
against the Tampa Bay Storm at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida at 7:30 PM
EST. The opening action will be followed up by the highly-anticipated matchup
of the Los Angeles Kiss against the Portland Thunder at 10:00 PM EST in the
Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
Cleveland had the best record in
all of the AFL last season, going 17-1 on their way to an appearance in ArenaBowl
XXVII. In that championship game, the Gladiators were steamrolled by the 15-3
Arizona Rattlers, who enter play in 2015 having won the last three ArenaBowl titles.
Their first game will be on Saturday, March 28, when they host the Spokane
Shock at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona at 9:00 PM EST.
This is placeholder football at
its finest, and if you are feeling as football-deprived as I do on Sunday
afternoons, then hopefully you will enjoy the full slate of six games jam-packed
into four days for the AFL kickoff weekend. However, you will also probably need
to get some sort of exclusive (likely non-existent) cable package in order to
view the games…
