Later that evening, the team will be eating at Kent Station Plaza from 6pm-8pm signing autographs, giving away prizes and game tickets, and will be hosting some Predators Trivia. The team hopes to promote their home contest for Sunday afternoon against divisional rival the Tri-Cities Fever. In the two team's first meeting back on March 27th, the Predators notched their first victory in team history with a 55-49 win in Tri-Cities.
The Fever are coming off their first win as members of the Indoor Football League last weekend as they defeated the Fairbanks Grizzlies by a score of 44-39. Tri-Cities is led a Quarterback by Andy Collins who has thrown for 16 touchdowns against only four interceptions so far this season.

The defensive back has two interceptions thus far, one of which he returned for a touchdown, and is among the league leaders in tackles.
The Predators are riding a two game winning streak after defeating the Alaska Wild last weekend for their first home victory in team history. Quarterback Charles McCullum continued his torrid pace on the record books as he torched the Wild for four touchdowns through the air in addition to his four on the ground. The Fever may also have to key on Kick Returner and Defensive Back Dre' Mail Hardin, the reigning VidSwap.com Special Teams Player of the Week. The dynamic return man broke through a seam with 13 seconds left and his team down by one point to give the Predators a victory last weekend.
