Montgomery Bears News Release


NEXT GAME THIS SATURDAY!

The Montgomery Maulers will be at home this Saturday, May 7th against the Dayton Warbirds. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

"OPERATION ADOPTION"

We are kicking off the first annual "Operation Adoption" to lead up to the Saturday, May 14th home game against the Rome Renegades.

May is Military Appreciation Month and the Maulers have adopted the 908th Reserve Airlift Wing at Maxwell AFB. We are asking businesses and individuals to sponsor a group of 10 for $100. In return for their contribution the business or individual will receive one free sideline ticket and their name listed in the game day program.

The 908th Reserve Airlift Wing is in its second year of activation in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom at Maxwell AFB. There are over 1,200 members assigned to the 908th with many of them living here in Montgomery.

"We really appreciate the time and effort the Maulers have put into planning this event on our behalf," Master Sergeant of the 908th Reserve David Henry said. "We hope this event will be a great success with the community having open arms to show appreciation to the reservists."

To become a sponsor please call the Maulers at (334) 277-1881, or visit their office at Eastdale Mall during mall hours.

This Thursday will be the last show at Eastside Grille. A new location will be announced at a later date.

VIP BOX ENTRANCE

For the added convenience of Season Ticket Holders who have floor passes to the VIP boxes, the back door of Garrett Coliseum (next to the large garage doors in the West endzone) can be used as an entry point into the building. All other Season Ticket Holders are asked to enter the arena through the North, South or East entrances as usual.

ATTENTION ALL FANS

Food and drinks provided on the arena floor and in the VIP Lounge are for the enjoyment of our VIP Box Season Ticket Holders. No food or drinks are allowed to leave the arena floor. Any fans on the arena floor who pass food or drinks to fans in the permanent seats will have their VIP Season Ticket revoked and will be immediately removed from the arena. Also, any fan caught passing their VIP floor pass to another patron will also be evicted and have their season ticket revoked. Your adherence to this policy is greatly appreciated.

Several Maulers fans have started a Fan Club, the Mauler Maniax, which is dedicated to the enhancement of the team. Members will receive an official Mauler Maniax t-shirt, a weekly newsletter, preferential tailgating, opportunities to write articles for the newsletter and exclusive voting for "Fan Club Player of Week."
