Greensboro Revolution To Debut in March

January 6, 2006 - National Indoor Football League (NIFL)
Greensboro Revolution News Release


The National Indoor Football League (NIFL) and the Greensboro Coliseum Complex have announced the Greensboro Revolution has been added to the league for the 2006 season. The new franchise will play its home games at Greensboro Coliseum and is expected to debut on Saturday, March 25, 2006.

The Revolution will be owned and operated by Anthony J. Pewonski, president of Sunshine State Sports Management, LLC and Centurion Sports Management, LLC. Pewonski, who also owns the NIFL's Dayton Warbirds, served on the NIFL Board of Directors for the 2005 season and served as head of expansion for the league for the eastern United States.

The Revolution's name is a nod to the City of Greensboro's historic past as a Revolutionary War battle site. The team's dynamic logo, created by the Joe Bosack Graphic Design Company ( Pipersville, PA) features an American eagle and the traditional patriotic red, white, blue and gold colors.

Indoor football is one of the fastest growing professional sports in the country. Its "real" football played on an indoor turf the size of a hockey rink. A padded wall is all that separates the fans from the players. Footballs that go into the stands during regular play become souvenirs of the fans and on average, 40-50 footballs go into the stands every game. The NIFL style of indoor football is very similar to the outdoor game in that players do not play both offense and defense. Consequently, they are able to better develop their skills at their chosen position. The differences from the outdoor game include the size of the teams (indoor football is 8-man football) there's no punting, and it's typically high-scoring and it's very, very fast!

Season ticket packages range from $35.00 to $210.00 for seven regular season home games. Seating location options include the "Battlefield" which includes the first two rows of on-field riser seating/standing area up against the sideline pads and the "Patriots" section, which includes the first five rows of permanent seating. Sideline, end zone, club level and upper arena locations are also available. Season ticket buyers can save up to $35.00 off individual game ticket prices depending on seat location. Parties interested in purchasing season tickets should contact the Greensboro Revolution at (336) 218-KICK (5425)

Individual ticket prices will range from $5.00 to $35.00 and will go on sale at a date to be announced. Kids (ages 2-12) tickets are available for $5.00 in the available in the sideline, end zone, club and upper arena locations for all games!
