New York's opening night attendance was a team record and they're expecting another team record to be set tonight. As awareness builds of Arena Football, I'm sure that the summer hockey fan and the summer football fan will come out more. It's just a process of developing the fan. It took many years for Arena Football to shed the image of sports oddity to be widely accepted. Well, it's just another league.
Competition is good.
It is very difficult to play Arena Football without using our patented game system. We haven't seen that league take anything away from Arena Football. It's quite flattering to see someone else emulate our sport after only twelve years. We're just seeing a basic growth of a sport and competition is what comes from it. With the NFL owners becoming involved we are looking to reach a critical mass of twenty-two teams as quickly as possible.
