Arena Alternatives - Lingerie Football

May I make a suggestion (evil grin).  You don't believe that Arena Football can be interesting?  Well, I beg to differ.  For those of us who are just deviates at heart, who are supportive of the wholesale exploitation of women for our own personal amusement, and for you ladies that share these characteristics, how about Lingerie Football?

This is gratuitous, to the extreme; it makes the WWF look like a chess match.  As you can see, the league is filled with lean muscled, oiled down, buxom women, who run around for half an hour wrestling each other to the ground.  Add in some mud and you’ve got a prepubescent wet dream.(askanabc.com)

Now, don't take this too lightheartedly.  These women take this seriously, and there is even a Lingerie Football League ... uh ... Superbowl type season finale.  This is probably not for the hardcore football fans.  This is DEFINITELY NOT a game that you are going to take the kids too.  Take a look on YouTube, there are videos of some of the uniform failures that take place at some of the games (hehehehehe).  I know, I'm hopeless.

Now I am going to be honest.  I would probably attend a game or two out of shear morbid curiosity.  The idea of some babe in lingerie and pads losing her bottom or losing her top in a play appeals to my inner child (smile).  And I have to wonder if this may not breath a little life into the ALTERNATIVE Football market here in Kansas City since the Chiefs show no signs of climbing out of "Suck" mode in the near future.  Why not, the Lingerie Football League actually starts its season on August 28th and runs through January, with their big game around the same time as the Superbowl.

By the way, I understand that MTV has picked up televising the games.

Season Ticket Sales - Chicago Rush?

Now,I have to take my hat off to the Chicago Rush Marketing Team.  They are not leaving any stone unturned when it comes to pushing Season Tickets for 2011. 

Imagine my surprise when my wife sends me a text message that the Chicago Rush contacted her wanting to know if we would be interested in Season Tickets for the Chicago Rush 2011 Season.  I say this because I live just outside of Kansas City, and while I admit that I have been a fan of the Chicago Rush, I'm not enough of a fan to be driving nine to ten hours (at least) and spending Chicago prices for Hotel and Parking every time the Rush have a home game.  But hey, after my wife talked to the man, she had him send us some information for single game tickets, and he told us that if we want to make a single game trip up, he would see what he could do to build us a great package.

Well, the information has arrived and I have to admit, I'm impressed.  While the arena that the Rush play in is not as nice as Sprint (concourse wise), I found the seating more comfortable and better than Sprint.  Looking at the prices for Front Row sideline Chicago tickets, they are only $60 per game.  Lower Level Side Line Tickets are $35.00 per game.  Then you look at their Season Ticket promo.  Purchase additional tickets at Season Ticket Prices, Half Price Parking, and Four Complimentary tickets to 2011 Season opener, in addition to the standard perks.

It will be interesting to see if and when the Kansas City Brigade Season Ticket sales team starts making calls, and what kind of deal they will be making.  As for the Chicago Rush, I will have to see what the season brings in 2011 and if there are any 'critical games' between Kansas City and Chicago.
