Sioux Falls Storm News Release


The United Indoor Football Association (UIF) announced the Storm's 2007 schedule today. The Storm will look to extend their 20 game win streak in 2007 as the team has not lost since July 15, 2005. Except for the Omaha Beef, the Storm will play each team in the Western Conference three times. Sioux Falls will also play Rock River, Lexington, and Ohio Valley from the Easter Conference.

The Storm's quest for "Three In A Row" will begin on March 24 in Rockford, IL with a battle against the Rock River Raptors. The Storm will then take on three conference opponents on the road with games in Billings, Sioux City, and Omaha. The games in Sioux City and Omaha will be the only road trips to those traditional rivals.

The Storm's home season opens up on April 21 with a Championship Celebration and a confrontation with the Billings Outlaws. Billings was the champion of a different indoor league last season. After a bye week, Sioux Falls will make its first trip to Fort Collins, CO on May 5 to take on the Colorado Ice at the Budweiser Events Center.

The Storm returns home for an intense game with Sioux City on May 12 and with Omaha on May 19. Sioux Falls beat Sioux City four times last season and Omaha three times last season. Both of the rivals will be looking to knock off the Storm in 2007. Sioux Falls receives another bye in Week 10 followed by another trip to Fort Collins, CO on June 2.

The Sioux City Bandits make their way to the "Storm Shelter" again on June 9 with the Ohio Valley Greyhounds making their first ever trip to Sioux Falls on June 16. The Greyhounds and Storm have storied histories as they have combined for four league championships since 1999. The Storm's final road game of the season will take place on June 23 as Sioux Falls travels to Lexington for a re-match of United Bowl II.

The Storm's final three games will be in the friendly confines of the Sioux Falls Arena as Colorado makes their first trip to "The Storm Shelter" on June 30. Rock River travels to Sioux Falls in Week 16 on July 7 in what could be an important game for playoff position. The Storm welcome Billings back to Sioux Falls to round out the regular season on July 14. The full schedule is below.

All 8 Storm Home games begin at 7:05 PM and will all be played on Saturday night. Season tickets for the 2007 season are on sale now. Call the Storm office at 332-4225 to reserve your seats for 'The Greatest Show in Town" as the Storm look for three championships in a row in 2007.
