Gladiators Play Philadelphia Soul at the Q

Lessee: Lousy team. Shitty weather. Overpriced seats. Cookie-cutter stadium where joy goes to die. What’s not to love about football in Cleveland? Well, the game itself, for one thing. If you’re ready to reconnect with the pastime you thought you adored, the Cleveland Gladiators are ready for you. Just past the season’s halfway point, Cleveland’s big-time indoor football team slings the pigskin like Drew Brees on a grade-school playground. Personal seat license? Forget about it: The Gladiators court you, Joe and Jane America, with family four-packs of tickets to every home game — including tonight’s tilt against the division-leading Philadelphia Soul. For a sum of $52 bucks, four people each get a game ticket, Gladiators T-shirt, hot dog, and a tasty beverage — plus free face painting, temporary tattoos, and a team that puts up 40-plus points in its sleep, in a league where your hometown boys are gunning for first place and the team from Pittsburgh irrefutably sucks. Also: after-game autograph signings! Are you dreaming? Sorta. Can you live the dream? Oh yes: Stroll up to the Quicken Loans Arena box office in advance of today’s 4 p.m. kickoff, or hit up the phone number or website below.
