Mississippi RiverKings News Release


SOUTHAVEN --- Saturday, February 10 as the RiverKings lost a tough match up against the Oklahoma City Blazers fans gathered at Buffalo Wild Wings in Olive Branch to listen to the radio broadcast.

"It was a great time for all RiverKings fans," said Jody O'Donnell, Director of Ticket Sales for the RiverKings. "Being so far removed from other teams in this league it is difficult for fans to take trips to many of these games. A listening party allows the fans to still be connected to the game and hang out with other RiverKings fans, while enjoying some tasty food."

An additional listening party for all RiverKings fans will take place at Buffalo Wild Wings in Olive Branch on Saturday, March 3 when the team takes on the Youngstown Steelhounds, ALL RiverKings fans are welcome to come enjoy some great food, and company. Face off on March 3 will be at 6:00pm, with the broadcast to begin at 5:45pm.

This Saturday, February 17 RiverKings Season Ticket Holders are invited out for an exclusive listening party also to be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in Olive Branch. This listening party is set to begin at 7:15pm; the puck will drop at 7:30pm that evening in Austin, as the RiverKings take on the Ice Bats.

"Buffalo Wild Wings is a great family atmosphere for these parties," said O'Donnell. "A section of the restaurant will be set aside specifically for RiverKings fans on all three nights. We look forward to seeing everyone there."
