Kansas City Brigade News Release


The Kansas City Brigade (Arena Football League) surpassed the 6,500 season ticket plateau today. Ticket sales have been on a consistent course for the last month and the team has increased season tickets by over 1,500 since Christmas. Currently they rank in the top-four in the AFL.

"The inaugural season begins in two and a half weeks and the home opener is one month away," Owner Tyler Prochnow said. "We are still on course to exceed our objective of 7,000-8,000 season tickets. Ultimately, however, our goal transcends the numbers, as our ambition is to provide the enthusiastic fans with a great product on the field and a memorable game experience."

The Arena League Football attendance average was 12,829 last year and the Philadelphia Soul led the league with 16,121 fans per game. Only two teams averaged less than 11,172 fans. Kemper Arena holds 16,200 for AFL games.
