Sharks vs. Gladiators - Game Notes

June 21, 2013 - Arena Football League (AFL)
Jacksonville Sharks News Release


JACKSONVILLE - The 2012 South Division Champion Jacksonville Sharks return to their home turf on Saturday, June 22, hosting the Cleveland Gladiators on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. This week's game is presented by our partners at Sea Best® - America's Seafood Experts™, and kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.

The Sharks enter this week's game looking to snap a two-game losing streak. But despite the recent skid, the Sharks still hold the top spot in both the South Division and American Conference. With five games remaining in the regular season, the 8-5 Sharks sit one game ahead of the Tampa Bay Storm (7-6) in the division, while the East Division's Philadelphia Soul (7-5) are in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the conference.

These two teams have already met this season, as the Sharks pulled away for a 66-49 win in Cleveland back in Week 3. The Sharks have enjoyed tremendous success against Cleveland in the past, holding perfect 5-0 record in the all-time series.

Whether you are a longtime Season Ticket Holder or are about to head to your first Sharks game, please see below for a rundown of what to expect at the Shark Tank on Saturday!
