I-Phone Edition Of SIFL Website Launches

March 19, 2009 - Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL) News Release


LAKE CHARLES, La. (March 18, 2009) - Making a bit of indoor football history, the Southern Indoor Football League announced today that it has become the first indoor football league to launch an i-phone version of its official web site,www.southernifl.com.

Located at http://i.southernifl.com, the streamlined edition offers i-phone users the same information as the regular site in a mobile-friendly format.

The SIFL has been working with SparkNet Creative, which also provides services to the Austin Turfcats, in developing ways to stay on the cutting edition of sports information technology.

``It's an exciting day because we're continuing to develop ways to serve our fan bases and target markets,'' said SIFL Director of Creative Services Scott Blanchard. ``What we're doing today will pay dividends down the road as the internet becomes more and more our primary communications vehicle ... when you think about it, radio and even television is taking a back seat to the internet.

``Our challenge now is to create accurate and vibrant content in a timely manner that effectively utilizes the available technology to its fullest,'' Blanchard added. ``Now an i-phone user who attends an SIFL game will be able to access additional information while the game is in progress. That's cool.''

The upstart league will kick off its inaugural season on Saturday, April 18 when the Austin Turfcats host the Acadania Mudbugs.
