Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see a squad of average Joes take on former NFL football players and pro athletes on the gridiron? With a $1 million dollar prize on the line, no less?
The American Flag Football League (AFFL) will make that a reality July 19 in Houston when its inaugural U.S. Open of Football reaches its ultimate final.
But first, the road to that final goes through Pittsburgh this weekend.
The quarterfinals of the 128-team U.S. Open field take place Saturday and Sunday at Highmark Stadium, with the winners continuing their dream to eventually play in BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston against the champion of the four-team pro bracket.
