This was my first (and last) Arena Football game. The game took forever to play, was full of penalties, had some utterly ridiculous rulings (Fourth and one from the one, Soul go for it, and FAIL... other team gets the ball, lines up, jumps off sides... Soul then challenges PREVIOUS PLAY... refs go to some tv monitor, come back and say because a play hadn't been run yet, Soul COULD challenge, review - get this - that the Soul called TIME OUT BEFORE the snap, AGREED that they did call time out, gave the Soul BACK the ball, again fourth and one from the one! That's bizarre, took about fifteen minutes to sort out, and was one of the oddest calls I've seen on a so-called football field - and I was rooting for THE SOUL!)
The Boardwalk Hall is a GREAT place to see a show, which is why we drove down 60 miles to catch an Arena Football game, but The NFL has nothing to worry about! Nor does indoor badminton, watching artificial grass grow, sewing for beginners...
