Chicago Rush News Release
February 14, 2006 - The Chicago Rush and Discoverà Card announced today that they have signed a presenting partnership agreement that locks in season ticket prices through 2008, and provides Rush fans with an additional five percent discount on Rush season and group tickets purchased with their Discover Card.
"Both organizations pride themselves on delivering unrivaled services and creating special ways to reward consumers," said Rush president/general manager Mike Polisky. "By combining our resources, we will make an even greater impact for our Chicago Rush fans."
"Forming this partnership with the Rush is another way we are rewarding our Cardmembers," said Margo Georgiadis, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Discover Financial Services.
The partnership goes beyond locking in ticket prices. On the field, Discover Card literally has become part of the Chicago Rush fabric with a branded jersey patch on both home and away uniforms. Discover Card also will be visible on two field turf squares, end zone tunnel banners and 60 feet of dasherboard real estate, among other elements.
The 2006 Chicago Rush season kicked off January 29, and continues through May. Fans interested in purchasing season or group tickets can call the Rush at (877) RUSH-TIX or visit the team's Web site, www.chicagorush.com.
