The Arizona Rattlers have selected Vince Marotta to be the team's PA announcer for the 2012 Arizona Rattlers Arena Football League (AFL) season.
Public auditions were held on Saturday, February 25th at US Airways Center where candidates came out, all sporting strong ad-lib skills and knowledge of the game.

Marotta attended Arizona State University and the Academy of Radio Broadcasting and is currently the Web Content Editor and Columnist at ArizonaSports.com /Bonneville International.

In 2008, Marotta took a break from the on-air scene and helped launch Fanster.com, a locally focused sportswebsite. In the past, Marotta has exercised his play-by-play announcer skills for the ASU's women's basketball team, and for the past two years he has served as the spring training play-by-play announcer for the Oakland A's.
Come on out and welcome Vince to the Team!
