This arena, dating back to the 1970s, as companion to Riverfront Stadium. Right next door to ended by Great American Ballpark on the northern banks of the Ohio River.

This probably most embarrassing game of the season. The Jungle Kats were the worst team in the division, if not the league. All the Fusion did was throw for five interceptions

The Fusion played Bossier-Shreveport in the second game of the season. I expected to see a classic city from the South, but inside found the dirty South. It was hardly an impressive city. The river and casinos, that was Shreveport.

I traveled on my own, opting to take a long-weekend trek from Indiana through Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, briefly Texas and Louisiana.

The opponent was the Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings. An arena2 football team that paid homage to locals at Barksdale Air Force Base.

I do recall getting a speeding ticket in southern Illinois, nearly Marion. Surprisingly when I went to pay it, it was already paid. I think the points are still attached to my record.

The arena has since been renamed the CenturyLink Center.
