Also attendence they said over the speakers was 4430.
Also I didn't notice but Wichita is first in the League in passing averaging 229 a game.

Wichita hung tough against a good team, and they almost beat the Beef two weeks ago. Wichita is definitely improved.

laid out #2 Leon Hall on that onsides kick. Mark Blackburn returned with style to return a INT for a TD crowd was every bit of 4430 The Hartman Arena is nothing short of AWESOME for indoor football. TexXx's 8 year old niece caught an errant Wichita pass, of my buddy's stomach after remembering he wasn't i Omaha Leif Murphy rocking the "throwback" Nate Scheuer jersey for some reason... All in all a great trip, on to Sioux City next week, hope we can get some of our O Linemen back, TB had to run for his life a lot last night

It was really hard to get into the game with all the drawn out breaks and the 25 minute half time from hell. Very disappointed in the promotions - or lack thereof. I think at least 1000- 2000 of the attendance was the kids on the field. (The pledge of allegiance, national anthem, PE demonstration (running up the field), Dodgeball (except no one ever left, just a free for all), God Bless America, the long danceteam/cheerheading break between the third and fourth quarters (looked like even the teams complained on that one), those are just off the top of my head. The mascot was constantly trying to keep the costume together - that was funny. But I just found all of it a little hard to keep interested in. The venue was much better than playing to an empty colisuem. I just think they need to work on running the game and getting the crowd into the game, not seeing how many kids can get onto the field. And why wasn't the Wild on the fileld for the national anthem (other than there may not have been enough room?)

My other question - do we not have home radio either this year?

Yes I thought the crap at half time and even between the 3rd and 4th quarter (I think it was a 15 min break right there). I thought the game in itself was good though. and yes our home radio is 1410.

Thanks - I never heard them mention the radio. All I saw was the SF radio team. The game itself was pretty good.

That was a lot closer than I would have liked, but it does make for good watching....if that makes any sense. Closer than it should have been when the refs gave the Wild a free TD. Must not have known where the line of scrimmage was... Nice to see Blackburn back and making an impact, but it would have been nice to see a little O in the 2nd half.
