ArenaCup8 to be Settled on Sportexe Synthetic Turf
CenturyTel Center in Bossier City to Host af2 Championship Game
Chicago, IL, August 23, 2007 --(PR.com)-- For the second time in the past three seasons, the CenturyTel Center, home to arenafootball2’s Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings will host the af2’s league championship game. ArenaCup8, presented by Horseshoe Casino and Hotel, will be played on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 8pm ET in Bossier City, La., and televised nationally on Comcast for the second year in a row.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers (17-2), led by Sportexe af2 Coach of the Year Rich Ingold, captured the American Conference crown and advanced to ArenaCup8 after defeating the Green Bay Blizzard 46-43 in front of the Pioneers’ home crowd at Wachovia Arena. The Pioneers face the National Conference-champion Tulsa Talons (17-2), a 67-47 winner over Bossier-Shreveport.
Sportexe, a global leader in the synthetic turf industry, is proud to announce its involvement as the official playing surface of ArenaCup8. The CenturyTel Center, an SMG managed facility and former host of ArenaCup6 in 2005, is a 270,000 square-foot facility featuring Sportexe synthetic turf systems and accommodates up to 14,000 patrons for a variety of entertainment experiences.
“Sportexe and af2 have enjoyed a special relationship since the league’s inception eight years ago,” said national football-coaching insider and Sportexe spokesperson Aaron S. Lee. “To see this league grow to 30 teams and continue to offer one of the best professional sporting experiences in the U.S. is a true testament to fine people that represent af2.”
Sportexe continues to solidify its status as the top professional indoor synthetic turf provider in North America as the official and exclusive synthetic turf supplier and game system provider for the af2 and its big brother the Arena Football League, as well as the Major Indoor Soccer League and National Lacrosse League. Sportexe synthetic turf system clients also include the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints, S.F. 49ers, Buffalo Bills, along with the NCAA’s LSU, Cal, Alabama, Tulane and Southern Miss.
“We’re fortunate to be playing our championship event again on Sportexe synthetic turf at the CenturyTel Center in Bossier-Shreveport, La.,” af2 President Jerry Kurz said. “I feel confident that the field will be in immaculate shape for our season-ending, showcase event.”
This year Sportexe takes its relationship with af2 one step further as it proudly serves as the league’s official coach of the year award. Sportexe will recognize the top head coach for the 2007 season at the af2 championship game.
“Sportexe is proud to be underfoot of the league’s two best teams at ArenaCup8 and displayed nationally over eight Comcast channels in front of 34 million viewers,” said Lee. “And equally excited to acknowledge the league’s top coach with the Sportexe af2 Coach of the Year award.”
This will be the third straight season the af2 has held a neutral-site ArenaCup championship game and tickets for the 2007 ArenaCup can be purchased by calling 888-277-5526.
