So there may be no NFL season this year or at least a shortened NFL season. While that makes me sad, we've got an arena football team where I live in Jacksonville Florida and I've had a blast so far this arena football season. The Jacksonville Sharks are not only one of the best teams in arena football but also one of the most entertaining. Our QB Aaron Garcia at 40 years old is the Arena equivalent of Brett Favre without the painkillers or the constant retirement talk. He owns just about every record an arena QB could own and he has the highest accuracy rating of any QB in the league. Arena is just plain fun. In a nutshell here's the difference between NFL football and arena football. Arena football: lots of offense avg winning team scores 50+ points, There's always action going on, The game is a party more than it is a game, kids enjoy it more, you're not hot and sweaty and exhausted or soaking wet after a game like NFL, no huge crowds to navigate leaving the game, you cant watch away games on tv unless your game is the game of the week, other than rivals you know very little about other teams. NFL football: The game is the talk of the town, The game is a huge rush, every play matters, the game is a huge event, avg ticket costs twice as much as Arena, every TD is exhilarating, you can see all the away games on tv and follow other teams in the league. Hopefully we get a full season of the NFL this year but in the mean time everyone should check out arena football. It's a cheap fun and entertaining experience.
