[edit] Proposed Paragraph on Out of Bounds Rules
How does out of bounds work, I know that you can hit the walls without going out, but there is some condition that qualifies an out of bounds, maybe your feet and legs have to hit the wall too. Here's what I know about out of bounds rules, in article formatting, it may not be entirely accurate, so someone who knows more can stick it in the article when its up to snuff.
[edit] Out of Bounds
If a player falls over the walls along the field, he is counted out of bounds and, unlike in the NFL, and similar to in MLB, spectators are allowed to keep balls dropped into the spectator area by players going out of bounds. This sometimes leads to a frenzy of spectators swarming a player to get a souvenir. --Kryptknight July 2, 2005 00:30 (UTC)
[edit] Misc.
How wide is an AFL field?--Kryptknight July 2, 2005 00:51 (UTC)
[edit] Ties
I believe that the first tie was back when there was just one 71/2 minute overtime and whoever was ahead at the end won and that in this instance no one was ahead. The second one was just a case of both teams scoring once and then no one scoring again. Rlquall 17:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fatalities Necessary?
Is the section on fatalities really necessary? Many people have died in the course of playing other sports (including traditional American Football). Why include that here? Mrpaco 22:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tell what the substitution rules are, not how you feel about them
In 2007, the arena football league is changing the substitution rules. We will see how they will work out in the long run, but a wikipedia article is not the place to argue the pros and cons of such a move.
[edit] ESPN
Should there be something about ESPN picking up the AFL? It seems pretty significant that the largest sports network bought into the AFL. 65.48.40.74 15:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
