Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena is already full of red banners hanging from the rafters with division titles and an ArenaBowl championship. The year 2014 though, was the first in the history of the Jacksonville Sharks where there was nothing to celebrate.
Maybe the Jacksonville Sharks aren't going 18-0. But if they play with the heart and intensity they played the second half with against the Orlando Predators on Saturday night, they still might ultimately be the ArenaBowl champions.
It took five months to get here, but the day has finally come. ArenaBowl XXVIII will kick off at 7:00 p.m. ET at Stockton Arena between the San Jose SaberCats and the Jacksonville Sharks. Who is going to win the biggest game of the year? Our ArenaFan staff weighs in with its selections.
