Tampa Bay Storm News Release


TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Storm is proud to host "Throwback Night" presented by the Tampa Bay Times, this Friday, April 1, as the team takes on the Orlando Predators in the season's first installment of the "War on I-4." The night will be jam-packed with giveaways and events, capped off with a free post-game concert by Grammy Award winning artist, Coolio. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.

In honor of the 1991 ArenaBowl Championship team, the first 5,000 Storm fans will receive replica championship rings. The team will be donning throwback uniforms, reminiscent of the original uniforms the Storm played in during its inaugural year in Tampa Bay. There will also be $3 beer, hot dogs, soda can and water specials from door opening to kickoff. The food and beverage specials will continue during the post-game concert.

In game experiences will include a new Fling-A-Football event at halftime. All fans will be encouraged to "fling" a football at a target that will be placed mid-field. The goal will be to get the football into the target, with a winner chosen out of the balls that landed in the target. One winner will receive half of an overall cash pot, with the other half providing tickets for local charity organizations. The Fling-A-Footballs will be available for purchase up until the end of the second quarter at section 101 on the promenade level and section 230 on the club level.

In addition, all fans in attendance will be given the opportunity to participate in the first ever in-game Storm Silent Auction. Fans will have the opportunity to bid on select Storm Game-Worn Throwback jerseys. The winners will receive the opportunity to be given the jersey right off the player's back. To place bids, fans can visit the silent auction table located at section 122. Bidding will end at the beginning of the fourth quarter. All proceeds from the Storm Silent Auction will benefit Tampa Bay area charities.

Finally, the night will be headlined by Grammy Award winning and multi-platform recording artist, Coolio. Coolio will perform a free post-game concert following the night's game.
