There’s more to Philly sports than the Eagles and the Fightin’ Phils. Last week we experienced a whole new side of the sports world at the Philly Soul. Philly Soul is Arena Football. Arena Football is fast-paced, high scoring, modified version of American or Canadian football. The field is smaller and the rules are unique to the field but the intensity is higher and the fans are just as hyped.
On Sunday, April 13, 2003, the face of Philadelphia sports changed by an event taking place across the country – Jon Bon Jovi and Craig A. Spencer’s first taste of Arena Football. Bon Jovi and Spencer attended a Los Angeles Avengers game at the Staples Center, taking their first steps on a path that would bring another professional football franchise to the City of Brotherly Love.
Our first experience with the Philly Soul was an enjoyable one. Shaun was chanting and yelling and freaking out like a real live sports fan, just shorter. The atmosphere was different than that talked about of Eagles games. The arena was filled with kids and families and people who wanted to be there to support their home town.
Last year the AFL (Arena Football League) took off to restructure the organization’s finances.
