I get that but they had 2 hockey teams and a football team but they couldn't survive. Why can't Little Rock enjoy sports?

Are you fricking kidding me? First off, both those teams were absolutely horrible. Literally, they were comprised of players like Clint Stoerner, if he were, right now, to go play semi-pro football at 37 yrs old. Not to mention the sorry-arse Glaciercats played at Baron Collesium. I think it was the Razorblades that outlasted the Glaciercats, mostly bc they were playing at Verizon, or Alltel back then. And I actually went to one of those arena league football games and the product was pathetic. The team was all ex-local high school stars who couldn't make in college and lower=-to-mid level college players whose careers never went beyond UCA. Has nothing to do with LR. Dickey Stephens has great crowds night in and night out. LR will pack Verizon for the Hog hoops game in a few weeks. War Memorial when the Hogs were competitive and had real games there always sold out and produced magic.

You all sound like a bunch of young pups who've never lived anywhere other than NWA.
