The Cleveland Gladiators, part of the struggling Arena Football League, kick off their season tonight at 7 at the Q.

The league has diminished over the past couple of years and only a few teams remain, the Gladiators being one of them. As a result, only two games will take place on any given weekend.

Still, the high-scoring games can be good fun, and the season opener launches with an Outdoor Fan Fest on Gateway Plaza starting at 5 p.m. There will also be a magnetic schedule giveaway, and concession specials include $1 sodas and $2 draft beers.

  1. The Arena Football League will eventually merge with the Indoor Football League or new National Arena League. And how bad is it? Ted Leonsis owns two (Washington and Baltimore) of the five AFL franchises.
