Louisville Fire News Release


We have two more tickets for the Cincinnati Bengals/Houston Texans game this Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. The first 2006 PAID season ticket holder to respond to the Fire Wire will win the tickets (you cannot have already won a prize this season). Again you must have renewed for 2006 and paid your balance to have a chance to win the tickets. If you have not renewed you may do so by replying to the Fire Wire.

With the Fire coming off of the 2005 American Conference Championship and ArenaCup appearance now is the perfect time to renew or purchase season tickets for the 2006 season in Freedom Hall. Season ticket holders will receive a 2005 American Conference Championship Polo (1 per account), 10% off of Fire merchandise and free parking for all eight home games if purchased by November 1.
