Florida Tuskers News Release


ORLANDO, FL - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2010-After two road games, the Florida Tuskers will open the home portion of its 2010 schedule when they take on the defending UFL champion Las Vegas Locomotives.

The Tuskers, who lost a heart-breaking, last-second, 24-20 decision to Sacramento on Saturday, will bring a 1-1 record into the contest; while the Locomotives are 0-1 and are coming off a bye week.

Considered the top level of professional football outside the NFL, the UFL's five teams provide high-level professional football entertainment at a fraction of the price. In all, the 52 players on the Florida Tuskers roster have logged more than 1,300 games in the NFL. Those players include former Super Bowl hero Dominic Rhodes, former NFL starting QB Brooks Bollinger and former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman.

Thursday night's contest with the Locomotives kicks off with a 4:30 p.m. FanFest inside the gates of the Florida Citrus Bowl. Popular local disc jockey Buckethead from 104.1's "The BS" will host FanFest, that will include visits from the Florida Tuskers cheerleaders and giveaway items.

Halftime entertainment will be provided by popular Orlando-based A Cappella group "4 2 Five." Fans will also have an opportunity to win Tuskers tickets and merchandise, as well as on-field access. Tuskers players will also participate in a post-game autograph session.

Tickets start as low as $15 and can be purchased at the gate or by calling 407-545-8123.
