CHICAGO (JANUARY 27, 2012) - The Chicago Rush announced today that they will take on the Iowa Barnstormers in an exhibition game on Saturday, February 25th at the I-Wireless Center in Moline, Ill. The Quad Cities site, halfway between Chicago and Des Moines, will give fans of both clubs their first opportunity to see their players in action this year.
"This game will give, not only our fans the first look at their 2012 Rush, but will also give the coaching staff the opportunity to evaluate our talent in a game situation," said Rush head coach Bob McMillen.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST for this first of three meetings between these Central Division rivals in 2012. The Rush defeated the Barnstormers in both of their 2011 regular season games last year. Mini-camp opens for the Rush on February 15th with training camp scheduled to begin on February 18th.
