Chicago Riot News Release


CHICAGO, IL (October 22, 2010) - Chicago's Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) team, the Chicago Riot Soccer Club, will unveil its logo, colors, website and ticket pricing information next Tuesday at 2:00 PM on the field at the Odeum Expo Center, which will serve as the home of the Riot for all home games starting on December 5. The press conference will be followed by the Riot's first training session and an open tryout.

The MISL last week 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 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 Chicago Riot will release season ticket, group ticket and individual game ticket pricing at the event. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 27. The press conference will be followed by a team practice and open tryout session beginning at 3:00 PM. Interested players can register for the tryout by emailing tryout@chicagoriotsoccer.com.
