I hadn't been to a roller derby match before, but they provide a pamphlet that explains the rules and objects of the match. I was up to speed and following along in no time! And I had a great time! It was great to watch women playing a sport that showcases their strength and fight. And to see little girls with their parents watching a women's sport was really inspiring. It's quite inexpensive, and there are beers and junk food you expect at sporting events (pretzels and nacho cheese and chips and hot dogs)! A great time overall. I know I'll be back for a match next season!

What can you say about Rollergirls? Its awesome fun! I'm not much of a sports person, but somehow…read morethe team spirit of Rollergirls really sucks you in. Now that its at the Municipal Auditorium its even more awesome. Gone are the painful bleachers, replaced with nice comfortable seats. Concession stands that are easy to get to, and a nice big arena for the girls to do their stuff! Its not without its downsides though.. Paying to park is a bummer, since its downtown. Also, having to pay Ticketmaster almost doubles the prices for a game. The solution to the ticket price is to buy at the box office or from one of the vendors (like Ben and Jerry's) that sell tickets before the game. When the games were at the fairgrounds, sell outs were possible. At Municipal I'm not sure how likely it is. Keep in mind though, it IS quite popular and there is usually a pretty decent turnout. The volume level is quite high, equal to a rock concert in my opinion so if you have sensitive ears, earplugs are recommended. Highly recommended!

The Nashville Kangaroos are a Nashville based Aussie Rules Football team. The game is actually…read morecalled Footy. This is really something cool to have this team here in Nashville. Their home fields are at Elmington Park at 3500 West End Ave. You can see their games here during the season at Elmington Park when they host out of town teams for competition. The game Footy is some kind of hybrid between American Football, Soccer, and Rugby. The way the do the scoring is related to soccer, and football with a certain number of points assigned based on whether the ball is kicked over a goal post or whether it is carried across the line. I don't completely understand the rules yet, but it is a lot of fun to watch. The game is very fast paced, and I really like the way the do the scoring for the game. Each goal has a score keeper and the score keeper has two flags. Based on the score the flag bearer does some choreographed moves to indicate the score. He wears a white coat and hat and waves the flags in a very formal way. It is enough fun for me just to go and watch the flags wave. Also, the men that seem to gravitate to this sport are quiet buff. So if nothing else you can get the girlfriends together to watch some fit men run around. They aren't wearing any heavy padding to obscure your view. Watching Footy is a nice way to spend a summer afternoon, you can get some sunshine and culture all in one fell swoop.

This league is a joke, completely disorganized and basically a money grab. At the start of the…read moreseason there were "5 or 6 teams." In reality the "league" consists of two organized teams of established players who play against a bunch of walk on players that changes every week. The "Organizer" is completely disorganized and mostly runs around drinking. I know this is a social league but my 5 year old nephew could organize things better. WAKA head office refuses to make any refunds despite not offering the service promised. A complete waste of money, unless you like paying $76 for a $2 tshirt and standing around drinking in a public park.
