Nashville Venom News Release


Music City will once again be home to indoor football. The Nashville Venom 02dbcc&id44903337ea&eb6b8286c6b) will be the eighth member of the Professional Indoor Football League. The home opener is set for April 5th against the Harrisburg Stampede at Municipal Auditorium.

The Venom is the second indoor team to call Nashville home. The Nashville Kats played in Nashville from 1997 to 2001 and then again in 2005 to 2007. Managing Partner Jeff Knight says the organization is excited to bring indoor football back to Nashville.

"Nashville has had a good history of having arena football with the Kats," says Knight. "History says that Nashville supports it. It's good product, it's a good venture and we promise if you come out, you'll really like it."

The Venom will be coached by Billy Back who was, most recently, with the Cincinnati Commandos of the UIFL. With Back as head coach, the Commandos won three indoor championships.

Already with a rich history of being one of the South's premier sports towns, the Venom will serve as the first indoor football team in Nashville since 2007.

With season tickets going on average for as low as $60 around the PIFL, the Venom will continue the league's dedication of providing fan-friendly and affordable entertainment with the Nashville Municipal Auditorium serving as the host venue for all Venom games beginning with their home-opener on April 5th . "We are excited about the opportunity to host the Professional Indoor Football League's Nashville Venom in 2014," says Nashville Municipal Auditorium General Manager Bob Skoney.

"PIFL is a great addition to the Auditorium's event roster and further expands the sports options available for Nashville and Middle Tennessee sports enthusiasts," continues Skoney. "In preparation for all of our 2014 events, we are refurbishing the mezzanine seating."

Following along with the PIFL's regional footprint, the Venom are set to become regular rivals with the Alabama Hammers (Huntsville, AL) as well as with the Columbus Lions (GA) and Georgia Fire (Rome).
