Chicago Storm News Release
CHICAGO (Sept. 26, 2008) - Fans, are you ready for some futbol? Professional indoor soccer action heats up December with the premiere of the Xtreme Soccer League.

The Storm's home opener takes place Saturday, Dec. 20, against the Milwaukee Wave at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The Storm's home schedule is set in stone, but there is the possibility of an adjustment to the road portion.
XSL teams play a 20-game regular season from December through early April of 2009. Rules remain unchanged from previous seasons, including multiple-point scoring. Fans who cannot travel to the arena will have the games at their finger tips: Efforts are in the works to include live Web streaming of all games and an online fantasy game accessible at www.XtremeSL.net.
