Quad City Steamwheelers News Release


Quad City Steamwheelers officials announced today that Saturday night's game against the Frisco Fighters will honor the Teams Championship past along with the man who invented the game of Arena Football.

Saturday's game is coined "Champions Night" is sponsored by Bally's Casino and will highlight 30+ players and coaches from the back-to-back AF2 Champions on hand to sign autographs and interact with fans attending the game. Part of the evening's festivities will be honoring Arena Football inventor and former Steamwheelers owner, Jim Foster, as a banner in his name will be hung from the rafters of the TaxSlayer Center. Foster was recently featured in the Hollywood film "American Underdog" which was about the life of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and former Iowa Barnstormer of the Arena Football League, Kurt Warner.

"We are excited to honor the back-to-back AF2 champions as well as Jim Foster during our Champions Night promotion" stated current Steamwheelers owner Doug Bland. We had this event scheduled for 2020 (20-year anniversary) of the Steamwheelers Championships, but it was canceled due to COVID-19. "We would not be here today playing the game our fans love if it wasn't for Jim Foster who invented this amazing sport", stated Bland.

Fans attending Saturday night's game will see the modern day Steamwheelers take on the Frisco Fighters. The first 3,000 fans will receive a FREE collectible poster featuring both the current Steamwheelers and the Championship Team.

Tickets to see the Steamwheelers at the TaxSlayer Center start at just $12.50. Single game tickets are available for purchase online at www.steamwheelersfootball.com, on www.TicketMaster.com or at the TaxSlayer Box Office, open from 10AM to 5PM Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday leading up to the game.
