Tim Brown and The Texas Revolution announced today an unprecedented offer of $1 Opening Night Tickets.
Tim
Brown, the Revolution's General Manager and Co-Owner, stated that value
and community are two key ideas that the team will be focusing on
throughout the 2013 season. The best way to prove this is through the
announcement that all individual tickets will be $1 each for the team's
opening night non-league matchup against The North Texas Crunch of the
American Professional Football League on February 21. The focus on value
was shown once again by holding this press conference at CiCi's Pizza,
the home of great value.
"We
want to fill the Allen Event Center for this game," said Brown. "I know
that if fans give us a first look, they will want to come back to
ensure the success of our team!"
The
opening night game will be full of entertainment for the whole family.
In addition to discounted tickets, opening night at the Allen Event
Center will also include a pregame fireworks show, free t-shirts to the
first 1,000 fans into the arena, and a spectacular performance at
halftime by the Amazing Red Panda, all compliments of CiCi's Pizza!
In
addition to season tickets and group tickets still being available,
individual tickets are now available for purchase. The team expects to
sell out the season premiere game, so buy tickets quickly.

"I'm honored to be chosen as the first Head Coach for the Revolution", stated Billy Back. "From the moment the team made contact with me I knew that this was going to be a great organization to work with. I immediately started building what I believe is a championship team, and I am very excited to start working towards my fourth straight championship!"
In addition, Coach Back announced today that he hired a Defensive Coordinator for the team, Brian Wells, who served as the Assistant Head Coach in Cincinnati under Back.

Latest IFL Team Is The Texas Revolution
Championship
Sports Group has decided on the name Texas Revolution for the Allen,
Texas entrant in the Indoor Football League. The name was selected from
nearly 1,000 entries submitted from members of the community on-line and
through entry displays at area Dick's Sporting Goods stores over recent
weeks.
The team hand delivered "hints" to Dallas and Collin County media early this week leading up to the unveiling. These hints started with Texas shaped cakes on Monday morning and finished on Tuesday with the famed "Come and Take It" flags which served as a rally call to Texas troops during the revolution. Each delivery was accompanied with a riddle to provoke the recipient's thoughts on the name. Along with partners Tim Brown and Ken Paxton, team president & CEO Tommy Benizio utilized human signs on the roof of the Alamo and a live horse to unveil the Revolution name and logo in dramatic fashion. "We recognize that we are in the entertainment business and want to make a statement from the very beginning that we are serious about our business", explained Benizio about the weeks interaction with the media and community.
Plano resident Todd Carlson was the lucky fan who submitted the name Texas Revolution and will be given the choice of $5,000 in cash and/or tickets. "I am an older guy and have loved history since I was a child. The story of Davey Crockett and the Alamo is among my favorites and I thought that the rally and emotion behind the name would be very fitting for a community to get behind, particularly here in Texas!" explained Carlson. Team Chairman & CFO Paul Williams agreed, "We knew from the beginning that we wanted to be a symbol of passion with a local flavor and the Texas Revolution says it better than any of the many other entries."
Produced by the clever and creative local marketing firm, Oh Ya Media, the logo itself was designed specifically with the families of Collin county in mind. Centered around a kid-friendly cannon with an attitude, this icon also includes the subtle likeness of both the star and flag of Texas. "We are proud to have been selected to create this icon which we feel confident will represent the team and community well for years to come" noted Oh Ya Media president Suzanne Jacob. "There are a higher concentration of both families, and football fans in Collin County than almost anywhere else in the country and we feel that we have designed a logo that will be appealing to both." Revolution Vice President of Sales, Barney Welch added, "We selected the colors of red, white and blue largely because they are representative of the Texas flag. However, we also recognized that the cobalt blue reminds us of the big, beautiful skies that we are accustom to enjoying here in Dallas more days each year than almost anywhere in America. We added jet black as a representation of the cannons that won Texas their independence so long ago, and or course the blood red will serve as a reminder to our opponents of exactly how fierce we are going to be on the field!"
An additional announcement was made regarding the team's signing of former Wranglers wide receiver/kick returner Ramonce Taylor. Taylor was a standout for the University of Texas scoring 15 TD's in his sophomore year including one in the Rose Bowl, while earning 1,219 offensive yards. He was a leader in the Wranglers offense and special teams in 2012 and joins Frankie Solomon Jr. as the second player on the still-coachless Revolution roster, and the second player from the great state of Texas. Taylor stated, "I am honored to be one of the first players signed and to be involved with the team so early in its creation. I believe that the Revolution leadership will present the community with a first-class, championship caliber team that I will be proud to be part of."
The team is closing in on hiring a coach and expects to introduce him to the media and fans next month. Season tickets are now on sale and start as low as $99 each with the season kicking off around March 1st. For more information on these or any other Texas Revolution stories, log onto the team's new website at www.TexasRevs.com or call the team offices at 972.422.PASS (7277). If media is in need of high resolution copies of the logo please contact the front office.
