Mariners Headed to the TOP!
The Baltimore Mariners have become the talk of the town! Finally the team is getting the respect it deserves! And to all of you doubters, this aint the BlackBirds lol! This is the Mariners, under a new ownership group, and a roster that could be the best in the AIFA Arena Football League. The Mariners had a very solid opening day crowd. My reporter James Meeker was telling people at his workplace about the team. A guy at my job today told me, his friend went to the Mariners game and he loved it. The guy at work asked me when do they play next, he needs to check out a game, I told him “this sunday at 4pm at 1st Mariner Arena.”
Last season I predicted the team would draw at least 8,000 fans for its last 2 home games, but a sellout this season, could be a possibilty. The Mariners are riding the same wave of success that the Baltimore Blast did in Baltimore in the early 90’s. That indoor soccer team was once the talk of town, before fizzing out years later. This has always been a football town. Man, for a sports writer this is exciting news for me. Just last season, there was a media snub. Last season I came in late in the year and was blown away at how exciting the game was, when I went to cover the team for the first time. I knew back then, something special was about to happen!
All the media was there. The fans were jumping with excitement. The 1st Mariner Arena was the most happening place in Baltimore this past sunday, and the Mariners owned Baltimore! And this sunday they will once again be the KING of the Baltimore sports world! I dont hear anybody in town really talking about the Orioles and how they will come in last place again. A few sports writers have tried to make the Orioles the main topic, but the real sports fans know its Mariners who are the REAL topic!
I seen all types of Media at the game this past sunday. Guys with the biggest zoom lens cameras I ever seen. Some writers with there black notebooks. I even seen Nasty Nester from the radio standing with other media members. Me, covering events as many as I have, all I need is a little flip pad. I have eyes, and notes is all I need to write a great story lol! I have a small digital camera, and a voice recorder(I still use the tape recorder version, I am old school lol).
I even met the Mariners owners after the game. I have to say Dwayne Wells and Kevin Fash are great owners, and very nice people. I got a very good impression when I met them. This team deserves the good press its getting. They love there fans. And believe me folks, I only stand behind teams that care about there fans. The Baltimore Mariners are headed to the TOP of the Baltimore Sporting World! They offer a team and product that is exciting as it gets. The team lives up to its billing…..Fast, Furious Fun! If you havent seen the team play yet, come out and watch the greatest team on turf this sunday at 4pm at the 1st Mariner Arena. And if you come, bring your cow bells, or anything else loud. Lets get this Arena Rocking with Noise this Sunday!!
