INDIANAPOLIS-A record crowd at Kuntz Memorial Stadium definitely got their money's worth Saturday night. Over 4,500 fans proved to the world why Blast fans are simply the best and cheered on their Blast to a 2-2 double-overtime tie against the defending A-league champions the Rochester Raging Rhinos. The event was a piece of history as Fox Sports World broadcasted live for the first time from Kuntz Stadium.
On the same evening, MorSports, Inc., owners of the Indiana Blast, launched their campaign to bring back their W-League team in 2003. The Indiana Blaze of the W-league were a part of MorSports, Inc. from 1997-2001 until budgetary constraints forced them to be sidelined for the 2002 season.
