What about'em? Indoor soccer is like arena football.

I finally divorced beer and proposed to whiskey, but I occassionally cheat with fine wine.

Indoor soccer is really cool. Back in the day, the Steamers, Comets and Cosmos used to draw up to 17k fans per game to see an exciting sport. People in StL loved it. In gym class, I remember playing indoor soccer almost every session with the "official" orange ball.

I believe the MISL has been re-formed with the StL Steamers and KC Comets members of the league. Hopefully it will thrive. But I have my doubts. More than one league and several teams have folded/relocated in the last 10 to 20 years since the pinnacle of the MISL popularity.

RE: KC Comets and STL Steamers:

Each team has already played a few exhibitions, a couple of them against each other, and will kick of the season later this month.
