Snohomish County Explosion News Release


MONROE, Wash. - March 26, 2007 - General Manager Brad Sturlaugson and Comcast today announced that the Explosion basketball team has finalized a partnership agreement to televise their home basketball games on Comcast On Demand across Western Washington.

"We are very excited to join forces with Comcast to further the exposure of the Explosion basketball team to a much wider audience through Comcast On Demand," Sturlaugson said. "This will give an opportunity to those outside of our geographic area to follow the progress of the 2007 West Division Championship team as we look to defend our title, and Comcast adds a professional basketball team to their already stellar lineup of quality choices for On Demand. It's is a win-win situation for both of us."

The Explosion have a 3-1 record and play the Vancouver Volcanoes on the road this Friday, March 28 at 7pm and the Tacoma Jazz this Saturday, March 29 at 7:15pm in the Monroe Sports Arena. Seats are still available by calling 425-339-BALL(2255) or at the box office at the arena starting at 5:00pm.
