Last night Michael and I went to our first AFL game with a large group of frisbee friends. The Sydney Swans played the Richmond Tigers. It was a really close game; Sydney up in the first half and then Richmond had a big comeback and won.
I have not attended many professional sports games, mostly only Washington Nationals baseball games. That being noted, these are the main differences I noticed. There was less hokey stuff, like no T-shirt cannons and wacky races comprised of people dressed as dead presidents. There was less music, and there were no vendors walking around in the stands.
One thing I found interesting was that during the game there were people running around on the field wearing pink jerseys bringing the players water and giving them messages from the coach. When the Swans started doing poorly the number of pink jerseys increased.
All in all it was a fun and entertaining night out with friends.
