THE STORY: The Grand Rapids Rampage welcome their newest Central Division rivals, the Kansas City Brigade, for the first time ever to Van Andel Arena. Earlier this season, the Rampage fell to the Brigade, 52-41, at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Grand Rapids hopes for revenge as it makes its final playoff push.

There will be more than one winner at Saturday night's game, however. One lucky fan will win a new 2007 Ford Fusion thanks to Fox Ford and Bud Light. After the game, fans 21-years and older can attempt to land a paper airplane through the car's sunroof as it slowly makes its way around the outer edge of Centennial Wireless Field. One winner will be selected and will drive home in the new vehicle!

The Rampage will also honor one of West Michigan's great communities during Ionia Community Night. Ionia City Manager Jason Eppler will be on hand to participate in the game's ceremonial opening coin toss.

At every Rampage game, the fun continues after the final buzzer, too. Fans are invited to join the players, coaches and members of the Rage Dance Team directly on Centennial Wireless Field at Van Andel Arena for the Rampage's postgame autograph session.
