Harrisburg Stampede News Release


HARRISBURG, PA (March 28, 2014) - In 2013, the Harrisburg Stampede brought the City of Harrisburg its first National Championship in professional indoor football. Since taking over full control over the team, President and General Manager Marques Colston focused on providing residents with an affordable and socially responsible brand of high-energy entertainment. The reigning AIF National Champs will continue to offer the same affordable, quality experience. Following several key offseason moves, the 2014 season promises to bring exciting changes that the team believes will enhance fan experience and community partnerships.

In October 2013, Colston announced the team would be moving football operations to Giant Center and also moving the team to a new league, the PIFL (Professional Indoor Football League). Since the announcement, corporate partnerships have increased significantly and the business community has demonstrated its commitment to supporting and keeping the Harrisburg Stampede in Central PA for many years to come. Recently, PinnacleHealth joined forces as the team's returning Presenting Sponsor and Field Naming Sponsor - the Harrisburg Stampede will play all 2014 home games at PinnacleHealth Field at Giant Center.

Also joining the corporate partnership roster this year is Aroogas, Memorial Eye Institute, Harrisburg University, The Pennsylvania Lottery, Drayer Physical Therapy, Brickbox Property Management, Maguire Ford, ServPro of Hershey/Swatara, Gold's Gym, MoMo's BBQ & Grill, The Firehouse Restaurant and Harrisburg International Airport. Returning corporate partners include Capital BlueCross, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, David A Smith Printing, Susquehanna Valley Harley Davidson, PA Media Group, and Sutliff Chevrolet.

Marques Colston, Stampede President & General Manager, said "the team is excited to re-launch our exciting brand of championship-caliber football at PinnacleHealth Field at Giant Center. These new and ongoing partnerships will allow the Stampede organization to further its mission of delivering to fans a high quality entertainment experience while having a positive social impact in the community."

The team will make it's debut for the 2014 season at Giant Center on Sunday, March 30th at 3pm as the team hosts the Columbus Lions. This event will truly be a Celebration of Youth and Sports! Stampede staff organized a youth parade with team President/GM Marques Colston and the first 1000 fans will receive a free team poster! In addition, the Stampede will activate new in-game contests including the Memorial Eye Institute "Improve your View Contest" - fans will have the opportunity to upgrade their tickets to front row seats. Arooga's will also activate the Arooga's Win Card - Stampede fans will have the opportunity to pick up the complimentary win card during the home opener, while supplies last! Stampede fans will receive 5 free wings at Arooga's when they present their card. The game will wrap up with a post-game autograph session on the field!
