Arizona Coyotes Lounge XXV

Good for the Rattlers. Being the anchor tenant will probably get them more butts in seats than they had at Footprint. That's if they bother to market it.

How many home dates in arena football?

7-8 regular season. Plus playoffs.

Problem the Rattlers had was getting playoff games in Footprint. They ended up forced to go on the road or play in Glendale anyway.

But the location? Good for the Rattlers but bad for the Coyote's?

The location is fine. People already go out there for football anyway so there's already a built-in fan base. But also, the Rattlers are in an extremely small niche league and consequently shouldn't be as choosy in their marketing efforts as the Coyotes were - plus, there's no "core fanbase" in one particular location of the Valley for football like there is for hockey.

But the biggest thing for them will be being the anchor tenant and not the fifth wheel in an arena whose new owner likely is thrilled to get rid of them. Also, I think DDA will be way better for Arena Football because of the lack of obstructed seats.

10-12 days per year compared to 41+.... I'd say good.

They will lose some East Valley fans but they can make those up in the west if they market it right. They had good turnouts for the playoff games they had there already.

Valley “fans” turn out for playoffs.
Just a general and obvious observation that doesn’t pertain to the Rattlers specifically.

True.... but they only require fans make 8-10 trips a year. Whole different scenario.

You're reading football into my generalization, "fans" will turn out for playoff hockey as well.

I'm using the Cardinals as a comparison.

They suck worse than we do, but people are still going out there because it's on the weekend and there isn't that many games..

Test driving a 2018 Kia Soul this weekend. My husband is calling it an early Christmas present to me!

Ah, I understand. But hey, it’s football, people love it because of short attention spans and it’s well suited to that.

Serious question, and I might bring in @Tom Polakis for this...do they have to tweak that a little somehow every year to get that timing perfect?

Heh. "LMWTFY" thanks.

Good thing they put that in a state that almost never sees clouds in early-mid November.

Never shot a gun in 14 years in the military. 3 combat tours, but I was the guy calibrating the fire missile control.
