UIFL Football to be hosted at the Eastern KY Expo
UIFL News, Pikeville KY – Gridiron on the indoor green will begin as the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center will become a home and host to an Ultimate Indoor Football League UIFL team! The East Ky Expo Center was chosen as the 4th league team for the 2011, seven home game season, beginning in March.
"It has been great working with Steve St. John, and his staff at the Expo Center. We are focused on being the most fan friendly sports league in the country. To start the team off with that mission, we are excited to announce a Name the Team contest. This is Eastern Kentucky's team, and we want them to have input on the team name!" said UIFL co-founder Michael Taylor.
The UIFL is a progressive, Indoor Football League focused on the fan’s overall experience.
The league has already announced teams in Johnstown, PA, Huntington, WV and Northern, KY. Announcements for more teams will follow in the coming weeks. To date, all arenas hosting UIFL are managed by SMG. Eastern KY Exposition Center is the latest to execute a contract.
“We are very excited to offer this new entertainment to the Region. Arena football is a fast paced game and very fan friendly”, said Steve St John, General Manager of the East KY Expo Center. “I know KY is basketball country, but Eastern KY has its fair share of football fans. The rich tradition in the regions High School football programs proves this at Belfry, Johnson Co, Prestonsburg, and the Hillard Howard days in Pikeville.”
The Eastern KY team will be holding a “Name the Team Contest,” where locals will be able to submit team naming ideas for a chance to win season VIP tickets. Visit www.theuifl.com, or www.eastkyexpo.com for more details.
