Indoor football needs a lot more recognition. Went to a San Antonio Gunslingers game 2 years ago and barely anyone showed up! People don’t realize how much I’d pay to watch this.
My old team!! I was just with them a month ago. Now with a team in PA! Don’t sleep on indoor football. It’s a smaller league but it’s a stepping stone to the next level. I’ve seen the NFL scouts at practices N all🤟🏾🏈
Arena football has been around since the 80s. I’m not sure why everyone seems to just not remember. It’s been on like a 4 year hiatus but that’s it. It used to come on ESPN
the original and most successful Arena Football League is long gone. Players were actually paid 6 figure salaries. There were TV deals and thousands of people in attendance. Even video games. That MVP dude in this video is an ex D2 player. The skill level of AFL players were that of the modern UFL. NFL practice squad guys and NFL washouts. Still all D1 athletes. Sucks arena football has fallen this far.
its like they saw the NFL and all the brain damage reduction and the retired players and CTE and the early death and said "SCREW THAT" CARPET ON ICE!!!!!COME ON
I played indoor for 4 years. I saw people end their whole careers in practice on that wall. Nobody plays indoor bc they want to. Just keeping the dream alive while working to go higher. This ain't football but it is a sport.
I played 3 years of arena ball back in 2011, 12 and 13 after I played a season in Canada in 2010. I played center. Them wide receivers are absolute psychopaths lol. I seen our receivers get put in the 3rd row going full speed and popped right back up lol. All that for $1000 a week before taxes and a chance to make it back to a higher level. It was so a lot of fun though.
Football team got invited to watch and do a camp with them this year. TJ and the guys are really cool. And the game was awesome! Insane hits and catches
I saw a football spin off called ice football where they play on a rink but it’s actually ice and it’s the funniest thing. Their 40 times are probably like 15s and they just waddle around the arena until someone scores 😂😂
I saw a game as a kid and it was so cool. If you caught a ball they let you keep it and if you were lucky like us you could ask the ball boy after the game and they’ll give you one. They also let us on the field to play around for a bit afterwards, it was a good time
Their best player in the whole league was a Division 2 college QB I remember when Arena Football actually had ex-NFL players and practice squad guys that were all division 1 players. Guys made like quarter to half a million a year on the top end and played in front of around 10,000 people. Essentially the talent and viewership level found in the current UFL.
There’s a team based out of Des Moines Iowa near where I’m from called the Iowa barnstormers and let me just say some of those games the place is actually packed and we get into it cause Iowa has no pro teams of any sort minus the Iowa wild hockey team the iowa timberwolves and the Iowa cubs all are just one tear under there nba, nhl, or mlb counterparts who you can prolly guess but those IFL games are honestly so fucking entertaining and if a ball goes out of play and in the stands you get to keep it and it’s extremely common for players after a touchdown, or something to just hand the ball to somebody in the stands, and the same with kick off’s when they kick it then usually if it goes out of bounds, they also let you keep the ball after field goals they usually throw the ball in the stands and it’s honestly just a really fun thing to go and seeing it’s pretty interactive with the fans
Their paramedics are working overtime

I went to a Jacksonville sharks game. AMAZING
I remember playing arena football for the Colorado crush. It was very exciting just wish we got paid more. I probably would've stayed longer
How much are these guys really getting paid?
@@hermanbanksjr9274$200-$500 a game
Dak gotta take notes
It's impossible not to smile while watching your videos.
Frisco Fighters! My dads friend plays for them
Thrashballfrom starship troopers over here
Arena football league was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 back in the day I used to have it on PS2 as well

Funny how my teachers husband works for the fighters so we got to hang out with all them it was a fun day never forget it
Love that the jerseys are like the old AFL's Detroit Drive :p
Check out this but in soccer it’s called the MASL❤
My guy never heard of arena football before, I played for the Waco Marshall's in the early 2000s , it's brutal and fun so at the same time
😂😂😂😂ikr I remember waaaaaay back in the 80s and 90s we had the Dallas Texans they won a couple of Arena Bowls
@@zztv15dang, I just remember the Dallas Desperados. Was a kid and the game was free. AAC was packed
@@youngtrill9745 yep I think they won a Arena Bowl too the original #88 ex Cowboys WR Drew Pearson was they coach
Hockey boards are actually made to give leniency and they are wearing pads like in hockey so the would be fine mostly
This look awesome
I gotta check it out
This looks hella fun
I’m a sharks fan and I know the QB and defensive coach personally
Ayy Eli Mack is gonna be on that team
He id
he probably wont even play
@@GlizzyGlobbler6969 Give him time to practice and he be in the field trust
Football team got invited to watch and do a camp with them this year. TJ and the guys are really cool. And the game was awesome! Insane hits and catches
dang eli is in that too
Love the mutual respect between the Frisco Fighters and the Dallas Stars
Wish more people showed Arena/ Indoor football some more love
Eli Mack played there well not entirely played at first but he still was there
This is absolutely wild 🤯 I’m def pulling up to the next game 💯
Fun fact: this is the league Kurt Warner played in since he originally went undrafted
i’ve played a hockey game after one of those games and it’s such a vibe i also got a tour of their lockeroom
theyre the best team and look how empty the arena is. some things just don’t get the recognition they deserve anymore
I saw a football spin off called ice football where they play on a rink but it’s actually ice and it’s the funniest thing. Their 40 times are probably like 15s and they just waddle around the arena until someone scores 😂😂
This ain’t new. And the Arena Football league was around for awhile, but it wasn’t making money
Its called the "indoor football league" and its CRAZY fr
He hit himself so hard
Loki might have to go to one i live 40 miles away from dallas
I saw a game as a kid and it was so cool. If you caught a ball they let you keep it and if you were lucky like us you could ask the ball boy after the game and they’ll give you one. They also let us on the field to play around for a bit afterwards, it was a good time

Do some so some scouting on linemen
This gives me starship troopers vibes in that one scene
I had season tickets to the old team in Charlotte when I was in high school. Had some amazing times. Should be more popular.
I love it!!!! Season ticket holder!! Inside with air conditioning, food, drinks and great halftime shows! Go Sharks!,
Their best player in the whole league was a Division 2 college QB
