Apparently it's not for that many Torontonians, either. And that the goalposts are nine feet apart and 15 feet high. There is no punting and almost no running plays. Each team has a 20-man dressed roster and there are eight players a side. Sideline barriers are 48 inches high and made of high-density foam rubber.
Playbooks are tiny.
Maybe these guys, and the New York Dragons guys who transplanted the Iowa Barnstormers from Des Moines to Long Island this season, plan to capture those hearts in ways other than sporting, witness the live musical accompaniment and other youth-oriented aspects of the show. The Arena Football brochure message was troubling, though. Somebody should have told that to a lot of fans that didn't turn up.
