2010-11 MISL Regular Season Schedule Announced

Published on October 18, 2010 under Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) News Release


The Major Indoor Soccer League has announced its regular-season schedule for the 2010-11 season. Each of the five MISL teams will play a 20-game schedule for a total of 50 regular-season contests. All but three games of the league's 2010-11 schedule will be played on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The regular season will run for 17 weeks, beginning on Friday, November 12 with the Missouri Comets hosting the Milwaukee Wave in the first professional indoor soccer game at the Independence Events Center. The regular season will conclude on Sunday, March 13 and the postseason is set to start the following weekend.

Last week the league approved the addition of the Chicago Riot for the 2010-11 season. Peter Wilt, who has previously led successful Chicago soccer teams in the NPSL (Power), MLS (Fire) and WPS (Red Stars), is a part owner of the Riot and will serve as the team's President, CEO and official spokesperson. Wilt has won championships in four professional soccer leagues, is a member of the Chicago Fire Ring of Fire and is a former MLS Executive of the Year. Jeff Kraft, the former head coach of the Rockford Rampage, will serve as Chicago's Director of Team Operations and Head Coach. The Riot will play their home games at the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, IL and will hold a press conference Tuesday, October 26 to announce more details about the team.

"The Chicago market is very important to the MISL and having Peter Wilt in charge of our newest team is a fantastic bonus," said MISL Commissioner David Grimaldi. "Peter is very well known and respected in the Chicago area and will certainly make our newest MISL team, the Chicago Riot, a great success."

The MISL will consist of five member clubs: the Baltimore Blast, Chicago Riot, Milwaukee Wave, Missouri Comets and Omaha Vipers. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top three teams will qualify for the postseason. The second- and third-place teams will square-off in a home-and-home Semifinal series with the winner advancing to battle the top seed. The top seed will receive a bye in the opening round and will host the Championship Game.

In other MISL news, La RaZa de Monterrey have decided not to compete in the 2010-11 MISL season due to the devastation caused this summer by Hurricane Alex which had a severe economic impact on the city of Monterrey.

In addition, the Rockford Rampage and Philadelphia KIXX ownership groups have decided not to participate in the 2010-11 MISL season.

"The entire management group and I appreciate Monterrey, Philadelphia and Rockford's years of service to the MISL and the game of professional indoor soccer," Grimaldi said.
