First Indoor Football Game

Maybe it was the April chill in the air or non-stop talk about the NFL draft, but either way I had an itch for some football. With that in mind I headed over to Lehigh University's Stabler Arena for Lehigh Valley Steel Hawks Indoor Football League game. I used a buy two get two reserved seats coupon from Discover Lehigh Valley's website (www.discoverlehighvalley.com) and took my wife and two girls to our first indoor football game.
I found the style of football to be unique and entertaining. The field is extremely short and makes for high scoring and big play after big play action. Kickoffs are a waste of time as most either hit the rafters or are touchbacks. Both QB's threw for 350+ yards which is pretty impressive considering the field is only 50 yards long. The final score was 79-77 with the Steel Hawks coming a two point conversion away from sending it into overtime.
As for the kids, well they agreed that the Lehigh Valley Steel Hawks put on a great show. Continual promotions, a dance team and excellent facility make the team a real family value in the Lehigh Valley. They have another 4 home games on the schedule so visit http://www.discoverlehighvalley.com/29380/play/attractions/lehigh-valley-steelhawks/ to learn more and to purchase tickets.
