Dayton Bombers News Release
Dayton, OH-The Dayton Bombers of the ECHL in partnership with the Ervin J. Nutter Center and Wright State University Athletics announced today that their game against the division rival Reading Royals on Saturday evening, February 17, will be played at historic Hobart Arena in Troy, Ohio at 8:00 p.m. instead of the Nutter Center.
The location is being changed due to an ESPN request to broadcast the Wright State Raider men's basketball game vs. Cal State Fullerton at 8:00 PM Eastern Time (live) as opposed to the original start time of 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The game will be available nationwide on ESPN 360.
The Bombers and Royals were scheduled to play at the Nutter Center on Saturday, February 17, at7:00 p.m.
"The Wright State Men's basketball team has an excellent opportunity for national exposure on this date and we are happy to be able to accommodate them," said Bombers President Costa Papista. "They are having a terrific season and this will be great for the Wright State University community as well as basketball fans across the Miami Valley."

Bombers season ticket holders who are unable to attend the game will be able to exchange their tickets for another regular season game of their choice. This will be the second game the Bombers have played at Hobart this season. The first was on December 28, 2006, a game in which the Bombers battled back to tie and then drop in a shootout loss to their in-state rival Cincinnati Cyclones 4-3, in front of a near capacity crowd.
The bombers are 2-0 against the Royals this season having won one game at the Nutter Center (3-2 on November 22nd) and one game at the Sovereign Center in Reading (4-3 on January 1st). The Bombers will meet the Royals eight more times this season.
