I was curious to find out if anyone here actually follows the Arena Football League. If so, do you have a favorite team? What do you like about this league? Do you like the NFL better? I much rather prefer the NFL but I do occasionally watch the AFL as well and I cheer for the Philadelphia Soul when I am able to catch them on tv. It is definitely more high scoring and faster pace but they are not quite as talented as the NFL players.

I am from Australia but have seen a few games of Arena Football on ESPN. I think its much more exciting than regular NFL (which I also see on ESPN), but the standard isn't even close. Still, something to watch in my spare time.

I definitely prefer NFL more then arena. We have a local team here and while it's sort of like a 'farm team' level of the AFL it just doesn't seem to have the talent that you see in NFL. I also don't like the rules as much. My biggest issue was letting go of the NFL ideas and realizing that this is a whole different game, not at all like NFL. The style is different, the rules, the scoring, the players, etc. So while I don't think I'd ever choose AFL over NFL, I don't mind catching a game once in a while. It's kind of like floor hockey versus ice hockey... it's definitely not the same but you can enjoy a game here and there still.

Count me in the Bon Jovi fans! LOL! But all the people I know got started that way and then became addicted to the game very seriously. Being from Italy, it's very hard to follow games and stuff, but I do my best to watch it and/or hear something every now and then. GO SOUL!!!

I too am a fan of Bon Jovi and became interested in this team because of him and Ron Jaworski. I think those two make interesting co-owners as I am a fan of Jaworski, going back to his days as Eagles quarterback. The AFL is definitely a faster paced game and more offense in this game.

I don't follow it, but I probaly should. What channel does it usually come on? I never see it on TV.
I bought the Arena Football game, got it for only six bucks! It was a good game, not the best, but defiantly worth the low price I paid for it.
