American Football

Postby tluong96 » Mon Sep 03, 2007 2:39 pm

Hi all,

I'm from the States and am dying to play some American Football, but have no idea if there is a group that goes and plays. Does anybody know of any groups or where people play? I even have my own ball too. It doesn't matter if its two hand touch or tackle as long as its football. Any help would be much appreciated...Thanks!!! :)

Great! Do you know of anybody else who would like to play or any places to play in Shanghai? If not, would you want to meet up just to even toss the football around?

Why not?! I live in Puxi, near the big stadium. I was thinking we can play in a university campus (like Jiaotong university) and maybe find someone else there.

Let me know details.

Very well! Actually the metro station is "Xujiahui" station (line 1), not the "stadium". exit n° 13.

I am moving to Shanghai on Friday from Bangkok, Thailand. I am a huge American Football fan, and I would love to get some games going. Drop me a PM and I will certainly join in for game once I get my bearings on the city. I can PM my cell # once I get a Chinese SIM for my mobile.

Ok so lets try this again...I'm trying to get people together for Sunday the 23rd. at either Zhongshan Park or Century Park. Century park has really nice fields and not many people around, but a small fee of 10rmb to get into the park. I was looking at around 4pm to play. Send me a PM if you're down for joining and bring as many people as you want..it'd be nice to actually have a game..talk to you guys soon!

I forgot the exit number, but the park is just in font of the metro station (line 2 green, Zhongshan park station).

For tshiekman, you can take line 2 from Jin'an temple (or Nanjing west road) and stop at Zhongshan park.
