GTA Football – Liberty City Beavers vs Las Venturas Bandits
The Grand Theft Auto National Football League (GTANFL) is a professional American football league that consists of 24 teams, divided equally between the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The NFL is one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada and the highest professional level of American football in the world. Each GTANFL season begins annually with a four-week preseason in August, followed by the 17-week regular season, which runs from early September to early January, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference, including four division winners and two wild card teams, advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament, which culminates in the Super Bowl, played in early February between the winners of the AFC and NFC championship games.
The Liberty City Beavers are a soccer team based in Liberty City, mentioned in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. They are fierce rivals of the Liberty City Cocks. There are two known matches between the two teams, the first mentioned by Derrick Thackery on WCTR in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and the second taking place on September 6, 2001, with the Cocks winning 3-0, as documented by Frederic Pierce on the Liberty Tree promotional website for Grand Theft Auto III. The team’s color is red.
The Las Venturas Bandits are a professional baseball team based in Las Venturas, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Their home stadium is the baseball-specific Las Venturas Bandits Stadium, which is located in the Redsands West district of the city. The Bandits are implied to be rivals with the other San Andreas baseball teams, the Los Santos Saints and San Fierro Packers. The Bandits are most likely based on the Las Vegas 51s, Las Vegas’s real-life baseball team, although they play in the minor leagues. The Bandits’ use of gold, circular logo, and their font is loosely based on the Oakland Athletics, who, in real life, played a few season games in Las Vegas in 1996 while the Oakland Coliseum was being renovated.
