Time to renew season tickets at hand

October 17, 2008 - Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL)
Fort Wayne Freedom News Release


The 2009 Fort Wayne Freedom professional football season is soon to be upon us, and now is the time to renew your season tickets to help your team "Defend the Fort"!

This season sees your Freedom once again under 100% local ownership. Bill Fahlsing and Mark Chappuis, Fort Wayne natives, assumed control of your team during a tumultuous 2008 campaign and through their determination, defended your Freedom. Fahlsing said that getting the Freedom through the season was a priority in order to re-establish the team as one of the top franchises in the league. Now with experienced management, high impact players and professional staff, we are confident that the fans will once again embrace the team they love.

Chappuis and Fahlsing began their first off-season by re-enlisting two former Freedom Defenders, Brad Harris as General Manager and Matt Land as Head Coach. "The experience and success that they bring to our organization will assist Bill and me in our efforts to solidify the Freedom once again in Fort Wayne," stated Chappuis. "Our efforts will be aimed at restoring the faith of the community and building a winning team, a team that we, our fans and the city can be proud of."

The first order of business has been to correct the mistakes that the previous two owners have made. To that end, we have adjusted our ticket prices to reflect our belief in affordable, family-oriented professional indoor football. We are confident in our ability to not only return this franchise to respectability in business operations, but also in Matt's ability to lead this team to a 2009 Continental Indoor Football League Championship, and are therefore including the first home playoff game in the 2009 package.

Beginning November 1, 2008 general public season ticket sales will begin. In order to reserve your seat, a $50 deposit is required prior to Saturday, December 1, 2008.

Enlist now to help your Freedom Defend the Fort!
