It's a crazy question yes, but Arizona's organization promised it's fans they would refund their season ticket holders if they did not make the playoffs...

So which will it be? Will they refund the money or make a late run at the playoffs?

By the way, I say they will be refunding the cash! Yeah, if I was a fan of the Rattlers I'd be cheering against them at this point... Gimme my gas money dammit!!!

I bet anything they lower their season ticket prices for next year or give their current season ticket holders a huge discount just so they won't have to pay it all back. It will be interesting to see either way.

This could get interesting.  Arizona still has a chance at the playoffs, but a slim one.  They stand about even with the rest of their conference, but they are 1 - 5 in their conference.  

However, if they miss the playoffs, I can't honestly see how the Rattlers could pay the money back.  Does anyone know how much money we are talking?  I read one article that said about 4 Million dollars.  But I don't know for sure.  If it were the NFL, that's a drop in the bucket.  Hell, you'd find that in most of the players' couches.  But in the AFL, this could cost the franschise if they have to pay out that money.  Which would be a shame.  Before I got a local team to watch, I didn't watch Arena Football that much.  But I knew who the Arizona Rattlers were.

I have to agree with you that the Rattlers organization will try to work out a discount for next season or some other deal.

I voted refund the money. I could see the organization taking money from the players!!!  Probably not, but that would be the only way to pay back the fans.

Actually quick update for you. AZ clinched a playoff spot w/ win last night. Also, 6 teams (out of 8) make the playoffs in each conference, so they really didn't go too far out on a limb with their guarantee.

What a horrible division they are in! I can't believe the Rattlers pull it out and make it into the playoffs. I can almost guarantee they will lose their first game depending on who they play. Will they get to play a home playoff game?

All there is left to say is don't expect Arizona to make this kind of guarantee anytime in the near future!

Going into today, it appears the Rattlers can't do any worse than 4th in their conference.  They should host a playoff game.  Not only does the franchise get to keep their season ticket $, they get more $ because they'll host a playoff game.  Good thing they play in the American Conference.
