Pirates face an uphill battle
A new minor league arena football team began play on April 7 at the DCU Center
in Worcester: the Massachusetts Pirates of the National Arena League. When polled
online, WBJ readers were not optimistic for the team's long-term viability.
F L AS H P O L L
"I would love to see the
Pirates succeed. I am
afraid they have not done
enough to get people
excited for this season
COMMENTS:
How popular will
Worcester's new arena
football team be?
They'll do great.
This area loves the
Patriots, and the
Pirates will offer an
affordable alternative.

"It will be good if they get
the marketing right. Keep
the football excitement
going in the pro off-
season, etc. Since no
baseball confirmed for the
city, it could be a good fill
in. Also, downtown is
slowly changing for the
better, and that could be a
factor. Go Pirates!!"
though. Hopefully that will
pick up once the team
actually starts playing."
"I don't like the name."
They'll do well.
People will want to
check out the team and
will return if they have
a fun time.
20%
They'll do OK.
The team will have to
compete with a lot of other
entertainment options.
34%
They'll do poorly.
Other arena football
teams have come and
gone before without
much success.
