I attended the 2010 championship game; Schoolyard Scrappers Vs. Coffin Draggers.
This was my first ever roller derby and I was not sure what to expect. I assumed that everyone there would be covered with tattoo's and sloshin booze all over the place and I was surprised to see such a mix of people in the audience. There was a mix of tats & boozers but there were also many couples and families. The rules were explained at the beginning of the game (which was nice since I had no clue) and the excitement of the crowd continued to heighten with each race. The Schoolyard scrappers did a great job but they just couldn't keep up with Satan's little helper from the Coffin Draggers.
My complaints: the cost
Parking is $10 per car
VIP seats $20 (only way you can see skaters up close)
I am not a sports fan but if I had to watch an event it would be roller derby all the way. The girls are great and the crowd loves them! If I had to sum up roller derby I would say its a mix of Nascar, WWE, and suicide girls all wrapped up into one event.
