25 years ago today, the Albany Firebirds were Arena Bowl champions! The 11-3 Birds beat Orlando in passion in front of a packed audience at then-Pepsi Arena, now MVP Arena. And this channel has a taping of it!
Anyone in the 518 who couldn't go to the arena could watch it on WTEN (channel 10), as the game aired on ABC. I should note, this year's edition of the Arena Bowl happened in the American Dream Mall in New Jersey, which was an interesting way to end the AFL season (the league returning this year following 5 years off). The Birds lost that game to Billings, Montana, but are painting rosy pictures for 2025.
