Grand Rapids Rampage News Release


The Grand Rapids Rampage will welcome the Tampa Bay Storm to Van Andel Arena for the third consecutive season on May 16. Arguably the most storied franchise in the AFL, the Storm have captured five ArenaBowl titles and missed the playoffs only once in their 18-year history.

The first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive a Rampage seat cushion courtesy of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Additionally, all in attendance will enjoy a performance by the nationally renowned Bucket Boys, a talented group of teens from Chicago's South Side whose percussive skills have been featured at Chicago Bulls games and the 2004 NBA All-Star Game.

Before the game, fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for Mel Trotter Ministries' food drive to be held outside of Van Andel Arena. Local bands from Forest Hills Central Middle School and Thornapple-Kellogg High School will also entertain fans prior to kickoff.

Finally, after every Rampage game fans are invited to join the players, coaches and members of the Rage Dance Team directly on Centennial Wireless Field at Van Andel Arena for the Rampage's postgame autograph session.
