| Tim Marcum, Tampa Bay Storm head coach, puts it best:
"We won't put a 17-million dollar office in New York City. We can't afford that. We won't play our players 100-200 thousand dollars. We can't do it the economic model just doesn't work.
"It's old time arena football, the way it was meant to be. And we'll go play, put on a good show. So that's what its all about. And I think that's why it'll be successful."
The key details:
15 teams; 16 game season; 35 players allowed to come to camp; $1,000 per game salary with practices at night; and season ticket packages (at least in Tampa Bay) starting at $50!
So, it's highly likely it's not going to be the same Arena Football playing standards either ... perhaps AF2. Whatever the case, Coach Marcum is a legend, and I'll be dragging the wife and kids up to see the Storm often as I can...
