No. But the more important question here is....does anyone still even care about Bon Jovi?
Screw Bon Jovi and screw arena football.

It is not a bad substitue during football limbo. I hate this time of the year where there is no football for 5 straight months. I do however have season tickets to my local Arena 2 football team the RGV Dorados which are 2nd in the nation as of right now out of 30 teams around the nation believe it or not, Arena takes the edge off from missing football. I enjoy all the the games when I am there, people need to give it a chance, it will never be as great as NFL or College football but it has been around since the 80's believe it or not maybe it just needs more time, but it is more popular than ever. I just started following the playoffs in the AFL and will be watching from here on.

Almost 2 million fans (soon to be more than 2 million with 3 games to go) care about Arena Football this season alone.
Arena Football is a different style of football, and fans of the AFL already know this. It's not a direct competitor with the NFL, even though many former NFL players and many future NFL players have played Arena Football.
The game strategy in the AFL is going to be different than the NFL, with 8 on 8 football on a much smaller field. Don't think it's easy, many head coaches have come and gone in this league, including former NFL players/coaches and NCAA coaches.
Even some of the players that play Arena Football are going to be different than in the NFL. Smaller players thrive in this game, and former NFL players have shown that just because you've played in the NFL doesn't mean your automatically good at Arena Football. Quarterbacks need to be quicker, kickers need to be more accurate, and defensive backs don't have a safety to help them out in this game.
So, yes, many more people care about Arena Football than you think. Don't judge the game by watching it on TV. Go see a live game and I'm sure that not only will you have enjoyed it, but you won't be able to wait to go to your next game.

I do because I love Bon Jovi and he owns an arena football team called Philadelphia Soul.

Arena Football is interesting and entertaining. Think of it this way: if it wasn't for Kurt Warner, we likely would never have heard of Arena Football.
Bon Jovi (Philadelphia Soul) is one of many interesting owners of AFL teams, which also include Elway (Colorado Crush), Ditka (Chicago Rush), Prime Time (Austin Wranglers), Neil Smith (KC Brigade), Tim McGraw (Nashville Kats), the guy who owns the NHL NY Islanders (also owns the NY Dragons, the team formerly known as Warner's Iowa Barnstormers), and Jerry "Going Home to Texas in a Golf Cart Because His Plane Broke Down" Jones (Dallas Desperados).

I will have to say I gave the Arena League playoffs a chance this year and I have been quite impressed so far, I'm starting to like this game and I plan on going next season to a live event to get the full effect. I think that these guys have really stepped up in the last couple of years to market a pretty good product

Judging by the number of fans who show up at Nationwide Arena to watch our Columbus Destroyers, I would have to say yes
Metro City...WE BELIEVE!!!
And, yes, John Elway is an owner of the Colorado Rush, also, Mike Ditka is an owner of the Chicago team

I like Arena football. I don't follow it closely, and I wouldnt pay to go to a game, but I'd rather watch a live AFL game than listen to commentators talk about TOs attitude, Randy Moss's potential, or Jamarcus Russel's arm strength.
That doesnt make me a fan, but it still makes me happy that AFL is on TV.

John Elway, Mike Greenberg, and Mike Golic. Elway owns the Crush and the Mikes commentate it. I heard them a while back when I was flipping threw the channels.
Bon Jovi sucks now. Their old stuff was pretty awesome, but their new stuff is rubbish. And if you want tickets to see them in concert now, don't waste your money. Even when they sing their old hits, it sounds like crappy, acoustic versions.
Cheers!
