By: Matthew Hester LAKE CHARLES, LA (January 22, 2010) – The Southern Indoor Football League is very pleased to announce the release of their 2010 schedule. The 16-week schedule was finalized on Friday. The Southern Indoor Football League will kickoff its second season in late March and will conclude with post-season play in late July. Continuing their focus of an economically and geographically fan-friendly league, the six-team schedule consists of the Lafayette Wildcatters, Louisiana Swashbucklers, Houston Lightning, Columbus Lions, Greenville Force, and the Albany Panthers with each team completing a 12-game schedule (six home and six away) while having four bye weeks. With a regional schedule, fans have the convenience of traveling to 50% of their team’s away games as the three members from the east will play each other three times as will those from the west. “The process was quite extensive with multiple schedules developed over the past several months,” says SIFL Director of Operations Robert Winfrey. “Though it took time to tweak our schedule, the teamwork among our ownership groups demonstrated their commitment to the vision of the SIFL.” “We are extremely pleased to release our 2010 schedule and want to thank our fans for being patient,” says SIFL President Thom Hager. “The stability of our league is a result of strong owners who believe in our regional footprint.” The 2010 opening game takes place on March 20th as the defending SIFL Champion Louisiana Swashbucklers face off against the Houston Lightning at 7:00 pm at the Lake Charles Civic Center (a.k.a Smugglers Den). This schedule lets an earlier season kickoff than previously reported. For the entire 2010 schedule click here. |
