A friend of mine went and he told me that he was impressed with the crowd size, especially considering the weather. The USARL folks can't control mother nature.
I'll never understand all the public sniping that goes on here. All of those who are involved in that are doing a huge disservice to the sport in this country. Constructive criticism is one thing, bitching to bitch is another.
I'll go ahead and eat some crow (I attended and had a great time) And here are my thoughts/experiences:
I went and had a blast. Drank all day, weather stayed decent up until the later games.
Crowd was what I expected. Announcer was terrible lol.
Tournament pretty much ran on time and was well organized.
Lawrence should stick to running his team :lol: .
I would of liked to see the Under 23 team play the Fight's B side (they took the place of the no show Aussie team I think instead of taking a beating against Fight A and NZ police.
The fight had a ton of guys out, they were really able to rotate fresh legs in and out and played really tough. The Fight also had the ugliest uniforms . I am going to go a head and say they will be number 2 behind the Axemen this year in the USARL.(Wish JAX could of been there)
Overall a really fun event. I am kind of interested to see how the tournament made out financially, especially after Fighter listing all of the costs that went into this thing.
On an unrelated note, My preseason top 5 teams this year are 1 - NY Knights 2 - Jacksonville Axemen 3 - Aston Bulls 4 - Conn WildCats 5 Philly Fight
(I'll keep boston out of my top 5, as I would need to see their imports play before putting them ahead of anyone in the top 5.
