Last week the league 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 Riot will play their home games at the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, IL and will hold a press conference Tuesday, October 26 to announce more details about the team.

"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 MISL will consist of five member clubs: the Baltimore Blast, Chicago Riot, Milwaukee Wave, Missouri Comets and Omaha Vipers. At the conclusion of the regular season, the top three teams will qualify for the postseason. The second- and third-place teams will square-off in a home-and-home Semifinal series with the winner advancing to battle the top seed. The top seed will receive a bye in the opening round and will host the Championship Game.

In other MISL news, La RaZa de Monterrey have decided not to compete in the 2010-11 MISL season due to the devastation caused this summer by Hurricane Alex which had a severe economic impact on the city of Monterrey.

In addition, the Rockford Rampage and Philadelphia KIXX ownership groups have decided not to participate in the 2010-11 MISL season.

"The entire management group and I appreciate Monterrey, Philadelphia and Rockford's years of service to the MISL and the game of professional indoor soccer," Grimaldi said.

Comets season and single-game tickets are now on-sale at 816-478-BALL or online at cometsindoorsoccer.com.
