Members of Bon Jovi tackle the iron grid

September 24th, 2003



Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora have both emptied out their wallets and invested some money into co-ownership of an expansion Arena Football League team. Billboard announced that the two rock stars have teamed up with developer Craig A. Spencer (Ritz-Carlton/Philadelphia, PA) to purchase the Philadelphia Soul, who are the 18th team to join the league.



Why did they do such a thing you ask? Jon Bon Jovi plainly stated, "I love football, always have." He added, "It's the only sport I really live and breathe."



The Philadelphia Soul will begin playing next season at the Wachovia Center and Wachovia Spectrum in the City of Brotherly Love.
