Columbus Lions News Release


Lions Nation,

I want to personally thank you for a great 2018 season. Unfortunately it didn't end the way we wanted but the journey was one to remember. Our goal is always to win Championships and next year we will be back to do it again. Attendance was up 120% and the Jungle was never louder. The relationships, friends, and experiences from this year can never be taken away. Our players and staff make so many sacrifices throughout the year but the support from you the fans makes it worth it. There isn't a better place to coach and live than the Bi-City. As 2019 has already begun, the National Arena League is continuing to make strides to bring the best competition in the country to our arena. We are constantly working on new fan experiences for 2019 to better the game day atmosphere. Have a great fall football season and stay tuned!

Thank you to all of our sponsors, be sure to support our local businesses. To all the members of the Columbus Lions Tailgating group, all I can say is "WOW"!! From the weekly home cooked meals to the sendoff parties on the road trips, I can't say thank you enough. No team in the NAL has that kind of support. I look forward to 2019

Lastly, I would like to thank my family and the real coach, my wife Sarah. For 12 years she has supported the late-night practices, long road trips, and constant grind. She is still the biggest Lions fan.

Strive for 5, 2019 Championship or bust

Your Head Coach,

Jason Gibson
