    Re: Offense - Spring Game

    This is true. I had Iowa Energy (NBAD League) tickets this past year and although the crowd was always announced at 3000-3500 there were only 1000-1500 actual butts in the seats I would say. This is for a level of basketball arguably second only to the NBA.

    Last saturday night I went to a barnstormers game (AF2) and there were over 10,000 people there, we had to sit in the top level rafters section of WFA about 10 rows from the very top. This is a level of football below many college teams and below any other professional level.

    It perplexes me how poorly people supported the Energy and how well they are supporting the barnstormers thus far. The original barnstormers did not get this much support and they were a higher level and a much better team at their level.

    I guess people just love football is right.

      Im pretty sure the original Barnstormers had great support. And remember, more people are familiar with arena football now than they were a few years ago with it being on national TV more often now.

        They did have great support, they led the league in attendence most years, but they did not have over 10,000 for games, so they did not have as much support as this lower level team has had in it's first two games as I stated. People in Dsm are no more familiar with AF then they were ten years ago, probably less, no one watches it on tv.

            I watch the AFL every monday night on ESPN. I also about an AFL game for my PS2 a couple years ago. Yay for being a no one. Thanks for questioning my AFL fanhood. Is that againt the rules or not? Or is the fanhood questioning only for UNI sports.

              Okay, I'm wrong, arena football is huge now, all sports fans watch it religiously. Of course the barnstormers this time around are AF2.
