Indoor football a go in Erie for 2010 December 29. 2009
Erie will have an American Indoor Football Association team in 2010, but it won't be the RiverRats.
The minor-league franchise has a new ownership group and will have a new name when play begins in March.
Erie Professional Football Inc. will be headed by Jeff Plyler, of Plyler Overhead Door Co. in McKean, and Bill Stafford, owner of Subway of Edinboro. Stafford will be the ownership team spokesman.
New York City resident Jeff Hauser, who relocated the RiverRats to Erie in 2007 from suburban Pittsburgh, and other local owners also are involved, according to a news release.
The group said it has a new operating lease with the Tullio Arena and a franchise contract with the AIFA. Information will be released in the next few weeks regarding player signings, training camp information, cheerleader tryouts and the 2010 season schedule.
"Minor league pro football is a weird universe filled with bounced checks, unpaid bills, empty promises, out-right lies, empty arenas, endless women, endless booze, occasionally drugs, endless trips on rented buses to towns on the outskirts of the Big Time and, for one night a week, a football game." -- Bill Shea

Banana Cat: Everyone's on the facebook group now too, which makes it even more quiet. This shoutbox was quiet when it was at the top this past year, so maybe I should just shut it down.
