Rattlers Announce Holiday Gift Offer

Arizona Rattlers News Release


PHOENIX - The Arizona Rattlers have announced a 2006 Holiday Gift Offer. A limited number of Opening Night Tickets will be made available for the Holiday season.

The Rattlers will open the season at home on Saturday, March 3 at 7:00 PM when they face the Georgia Force at the US Airways Center. A limited number of Opening Night tickets will be available through this special offer in both the upper and lower levels. Tickets start as low as $5.00. Opening Night tickets are a great stocking stuffer or Holiday gift.

The Rattlers, one of the AFL's most storied franchises, played their 15th anniversary season in 2006. The milestone season was unlike any previous years. Coming off of a season where they finished below .500 and missed the playoffs for just the second time in their history, the Rattlers faced a new challenge in 2006. Under new ownership and a new head coach, Arizona defied all odds and turned a franchise-worst start into a playoff run that ended just two games short of a sixth championship appearance. Head coach Gene Nudo, who was in his first season at the helm, built a team of experienced veterans and exciting young talent. After dropping their first two home games, the team would reel off seven straight wins at US Airways Center, including a 57-34 playoff victory over Utah to advance to the Conference Semifinals.

The Rattlers begin their hunt for ring number three this March. For more information on the Holiday Gift Package and other great ticket packages, fans should call 602-514-TDTD.
