On Saturday, I attended my first Grand Rapids Rampage Arena Football game. Held at Van Andel Arena in downtown Grand Rapids, the Rampage were an exciting team to watch. While I was there, they won 71-55 over the Kats of Nashville. Jeff Smoker, the former Michigan State quarterback, was the QB of the Kats.
The most notable Rampage player I saw was Michael Bishop. Bishop, the former Kansas State QB who finished second in Heisman voting to Ricky Williams in 1998, didn't even play QB for Grand Rapids.
While the game clearly doesn't stack up to the NFL, it was interesting to see the return men play the ball off of the walls, and guys getting tackled into the boards.
Here is a video of I took while at the game:
