THE STORY: The Grand Rapids Rampage welcome their Central Division rivals, the Colorado Crush, who are co-owned by Denver Broncos great John Elway. Earlier this season, the Rampage defeated the Crush, 44-42, in Denver, and they hope to complete the series sweep in their own building.

During halftime, local band and MTV sensation Pop Evil will keep Van Andel Arena rocking with a special performance. 1,000 fans will also receive a free copy of Pop Evil's CD.

The Rampage will also honor one of West Michigan's great communities during Holland Community Night. Holland City Councilman Kurt Dykstra will participate in the opening coin toss ceremony.

At every Rampage game, the fun continues after the final buzzer, too. Fans are invited to join the players, coaches and members of the Rage Dance Team directly on Centennial Wireless Field at Van Andel Arena for the Rampage's postgame autograph session.
