December 8, 2008 - Indoor Football League (IFL)
Bloomington Extreme News Release


Bloomington, IL (December 8, 2008) - Bloomington Extreme are proud to announce the schedule for their 2009 Inaugural Season in the new Indoor Football League.

The team will be playing eight home games and seven away games. The season starts March 7th with the team's first pre-season game vs. Saginaw. The Indoor Football League has three new teams making their first appearance in Bloomington this year. Maryland, Saginaw and Muskegon will all be playing the Bloomington Extreme in the upcoming 2009 season.

The Bloomington Extreme are excited to make their way to Alaska this season to play Fairbanks April 25th and Anchorage on May 2nd. The team is also scheduled to play in Colorado, Wichita, Muskegon, Saginaw, and Maryland for the first time this season.

"We are elated by the schedule we have been dealt by the IFL," Extreme General Manager Bart Rogers explains. "This is never an easy process to put together from the league and team side of the equation. We appreciate the efforts IFL Commissioner Tommy Benizio and his staff went to so our home schedule stayed balanced and our road schedule stayed in check on the expense side."

Start times for all Bloomington Extreme Home games start at 7:05PM CST and will again be broadcast live on WTRX 93.7FM.

A complete promotional schedule and game day event schedule will be released mid January. "Our staff has worked hard on the off season to bring new game promotions to each and every game and have ramped up our sales force to hopefully fill the U.S. Cellular Coliseum each and every night," Rogers said "We look forward to announcing our coaching staff in the near future and the first of many player signings in the weeks ahead. It's going to be a fun and exciting season for our fans!"
