was in attendance for the roughnecks season opener in houston (black shirt/orange hat). i've been to several texans game and i didn't have as much fun as i did on saturday. all of us in the endzone chanting 'go for 3' after every houston touchdown. cool points for the wildcat receiver that broke out the randy orton pose after both of his touchdowns. 200's level was opened up day of the game due to ticket demand. had they played at bbva stadium (soccer pitch for the houston dynamo), the place could have looked sold out (like the dc game played on the pitch where dc united play).best part: free shirt for being there early. my friend bought season tickets for 100$ a seat and that price is locked for 3 seasons. i left the game tryin to convince myself to get season tix for the remaining 4 games. no lie tho... that first half after the first roughneck touchdown, felt like i was at a texans game. by the third quarter, soneone blew up a beach ball and that was a wrap: sealed the vibe for me. i HAVE to be at each game now. at one point we had done a perfect wave: perfect cause the skycam circled the entire field to capture it all. such an awesome experience. a free light rail ride away from my friends' apt near sigma brewery. hell. yes.
Yeah, I hope this league sticks around. I also loved the AAF and this just feels like a much more put together/TV ready version of that. Absolutely loving this even though my Guardians look like
