From the stands: The AAF Debut

History was made this past Saturday night as the first games of the All-American Football League (better known as the AAF) took place in Orlando and San Antonio. I was lucky enough to attend the game inside Spectrum Stadium between the Atlanta Legends and the Orlando Apollos so I decided to write about the experience.

Known as “The Launch” this would be the very first game in Apollos history under a very familiar head ball coach. Steve Spurrier... you may have heard of him? Maybe. When you walk up to Spectrum Stadium on the campus of UCF you quickly realize a few things, this would have a college game atmosphere and Steve Spurrier is the face of the franchise.
