Tim McGraw Owner of Arena Football Team

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tim McGraw plays a former high-school football player in the movie, "Friday Night Lights," and now he's become a part owner of the Arena Football League's Nashville Kats.
Bud Adams, owner of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, announced Monday that McGraw had joined him and Mark Bloom as co-owners of the franchise that Adams revived after the team moved to Atlanta.
"I'm part of the community here — loving football, being part of the community and wanting to support anything that helps this community out," the country singer said at a news conference.
McGraw, whose latest album is "Live Like You Were Dying," will be doing his part to boost attendance by performing for Kats' season ticket holders and sponsors next year.
Jon Bon Jovi is part owner of the Philadelphia Soul AFL team, and McGraw joked he'd do anything to help promote his own new team, even if it means getting on the field with Bon Jovi.
"If he gets out there, I'll get out there because I know I can cream him," McGraw said.

I think i need to become a season ticket holder! I love me some Tim McGraw!
