That may work out well for them!  Assuming they promote it right...

My bad I got told it was going to be the new arena.  I guess that means Pershing is sticking around for now though.

Is Persing that Big?  I have only been there once?  Do they have the hockey boards for the walls and such?  Is it tall enough?

Also, where is this info coming from.

Since the new arena is not ready for over a year this location could very well be a one year thing.  If they get enough following I could see tehm moving to new digs.
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

Pershing has already hosted a couple arena football leagues, they were both pretty dismal...this one looks about on par.

Also, I am sure Pershing is temporary.  The city previously had sent out RFPs for Pershing.  From what it was sounding like, the most likely option was making it the new public library branch.
