The
Kentucky Xtreme will launch its debut season in the Continental Indoor
Football League at the Kentucky Exposition Center’s Freedom Hall in
February, according to Brent Adams, the team’s assistant coach and
director of media relations. It will play four or five home games there
during the season, which will wrap up in June.
The
Kentucky State Fair Board and Louisville Sports Commission have
scheduled a 10 a.m. Wednesday news conference at Freedom Hall to
announce a new sports tenant.
Adams
declined to say whether the Xtreme will be the tenant introduced at the
event but confirmed the team’s plans to play at Freedom Hall. The
team’s Web site also identifies Freedom Hall as the team’s home.
This
fall, the Xtreme will hold open tryouts for players in Louisville,
Lexington and Bowling Green, Ky., and Indianapolis, according to Adams.
He said ticket prices have not been determined.
“I hope the fans will come out and support it,” Adams said of the new football team.
Freedom
Hall hosted arena football from 2001 to 2008, when the Louisville Fire
called the venue home. That team folded after the 2008 season.
