| - I've been a fan of AFL since I saw the Wasington Commandos play back in the 1980's. Yes, AFL has been around since then. When I first came to Vegas, we had the Gladiators, long since defecting to Cleveland (Cleveland?). Professional (major league) sports have a tough time getting a foothold here, primarily due to the fear that sports bettors will create another Black Sox scandal. This city can and will support a major league team, and thanks to Vince Neil, we have one here right now.
It's only their inaugural season, but they're not bad. The game is fast, high scoring, and a lot of fun. The game has changed since the 80's (in the original game, all players except the QB and kicker played both offense and defense) but it's still a great game.
If you've never seen an AFL game, come out to the T&M and have a great time. It won't be your last.
