IFL Green Bay Blizzard

Message To Blizzard Fans From New Owner Jeff Royle

November 5, 2009 - Indoor Football League (IFL)
Green Bay Blizzard News Release


Dear Blizzard Fans,

Let me be the first one to welcome you to a new era of Indoor Football here in Titletown. Today my ownership group took over the day-to-day operations of the Green Bay Blizzard Professional Football Team. Blizzard fans have certainly put Green Bay on the map in recent years and my entire staff is extremely excited to be a part of making sure this great franchise remains in Green Bay for many years to come.

Today also brings a new chapter for this franchise as we are the newest expansion team of the premier Indoor Football League. The IFL is a very stable and growing league that stretches from Richmond, Virginia to Alaska, 23 teams strong to date. We are very excited to have new rivals in such cities as La Crosse, Wisconsin coached by former Packer great Gilbert "Gravedigger- Brown as well as Chicago and Bloomington, Illinois.

These changes of course will bring about a lot of questions and I certainly want to make every effort to make sure you get the correct information. I know there will be questions as to why we are playing in a different league. The simple answer is the IFL provides this franchise the most financially sound business model and a brand of indoor football that all the fans in Northeastern Wisconsin will find extremely exciting. In addition the team's former league af2 no longer exists and new leagues like Arena Football 1 are still in a conceptual state. With that being said, I wanted there to be no doubt we'd play football in 2010 and there is no doubt in my mind that we have made these important business decisions based on what's best for this franchise to grow and prosper in our community for many, many years.

It's my intentions within the next week or so to host a "FAN OPEN HOUSE" reception where we will conduct a question and answer session and educate everyone on all of the changes that have substantially changed the landscape that is Indoor/Arena football.

Please trust that my staff and I will work tirelessly to prepare ourselves to have an incredible 2010 season. New League, New Rivals, SAME AFFORDABLE FAMILY FUN will be our words to live by this coming season. I ask you to support this franchise as we move forward and together the skies the limit.

Please stay tuned with further details regarding the reception in the next few days.

GO BLIZZARD!

Jeffrey L. Royle

Owner/President
