Sioux Falls Storm News Release


Due to the Hot Harley Nights parade through Sioux Falls, the Arena will not be accessible for fans traveling on I-29. The parade will affect the I-29 exit on Russell St. as well the Madison St. and 12th St. exits. Those routes will be closed from 6:30 to 7:30 PM on Saturday. Fans that typically use I-29 are encouraged to take the 60th St. exit East to Minnesota Ave. Once there, fans can travel South on Minnesota Ave. to Russell St, where you will head West to the Arena.

This Saturday is also the Third Annual "Jersey Off My Back" Fundraiser. The Fundraiser is brought to you by Pro Cellular, your Alltel Authorized Agent. Doors open to the Arena at 6:00 PM where fans can purchase raffle tickets at $5 per ticket or $10 for three tickets. These raffle tickets will put them in a drawing for Storm jerseys that players will wear for Saturday Night's game. The drawing will take place immediately following the game on the field where fans may claim their jersey.

The game theme for Saturday night will be "Back When I Played Night", which means its time to break out those old high school and college jerseys for Saturday night's game.

The Sioux Falls Storm will entertain the Billings Outlaws(8-5) on Saturday night at the Sioux Falls Arena. The Storm own #1 rankings in scoring offense and defense. No offense has put up more points per game and no defense has allowed fewer points per game this season than the Sioux Falls Storm. The game will be a battle between the #1 rushing attack (Billings) and the #1 run defense (Sioux Falls).
