The One Small Point That Made A Big Difference

Last night I was at the Arena at the Gwinnet Center where the Georgia Force took on the Tampa Bay Storm. This was my very first Arena Football game. It has a lot of different rules than the NFL (National Football League).

The rules are the following:

*There are only eight players from each team on the field at a time & 20-man active roster &a 4-man inactive roster.

*The goal posts are only 9ft. wide and have a 15ft. high crossbar.

*The field is only 85ft. wide and the playing field is only 50yd. with 8yd. end-zones.

*The sides of the playing field is lined with 48in. high foam padding.



At the beginning of the game they bring out 4 big boxes. The have a hole that puts fire and smoke out when each player is introduced and run by the cheerleaders. Also, whenever the Force scores a touchdown, people run around up above the field on the rafters and shove off what seem to be a Chick-fal-a bag but is actually a toy parachute with the Chick-fal-a mascot, none other than the cow, attached at the end. Pretty cool until people are literally killing each other for them.

Over all I have to say the game was pretty great. At the end of the 1st quarter the Force had a score of 14 and the Storm with a score of 13. Bye the end of the 2nd quarter the Storm had scored 14 and so did the Force. The Storm was still down bye one. Bye this time the score was 28 Force and 27 Storm. As the 3rd quarter rolled to an end the score was 28 Force and out of nowhere the Storm had a score of 41! Within the last 30 seconds of the game the Storm had a final score of 55 and the Force, 49. The Force had possession of the ball. At this point all they had to do was score 1 touchdown to tie the game and go into overtime. But no, The mighty Force did more. Sure, they scored the touchdown but with 5 seconds left in the game everyone knew it was up to the kicker to save the game. The ball was hiked, put down on the ground, and kicked right over the crossbar! The Force had done it. The final score was:



Georgia Force 56
Tampa Bay Storm 55
