HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KY. – The Ultimate Indoor Football League (UIFL) announced todaythe creation of a third league team for the 2011 season, to be housed at The Bank of Kentucky Center on the campus of Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, KY.

The team will play seven regular season home games during the 2011 season, which will run from mid-March through June. Football capacity for The Bank of Kentucky Center will be about 6,000.

“We’re excited to bring professional indoor football to northern Kentucky,” said Molly Pascucci, GM of The Bank of Kentucky Center. “The Greater Cincinnati region has a rich tradition of high school and collegiate football excellence, and we are thrilled to be building upon that strong foundation. We believe this team will bring a fast-paced professional football product that is both entertaining and affordable.”

The UIFL was formed to serve as a training ground to develop professional players, coaches and personnel on and off the field. The league emphasizes fundamental development, career development, community involvement and education to everyone involved with the league and its franchises.

The league has already announced teams in Johnstown, PA., and Huntington, WV. The UIFL will announce additional teams in the coming weeks, with an ultimate goal of fielding six or eight teams for the 2011 season.

“It has been a pleasure working with the university, SMG and Molly Pascucci the arena manager,” said UIFL Co-Founder Michael Taylor. “The Bank of Kentucky Center is a perfect facility for our product, and we are excited to be bringing a team to Northern Kentucky. The UIFL business model was designed to help keep costs down for team owners so that they can achieve long-term sustainability and success. We strive to be the most fan-friendly professional sports league in the country.”

“When we opened The Bank of Kentucky Center, we emphasized over and over again that it was more than just a facility for NKU athletics,” said NKU President James C. Votruba. “We have brought national artists and events that have enhanced the cultural vitality of our region and entertained thousands. Bringing a professional indoor football team to this facility will further expand its impact on our region.”

The UIFL will conduct a local press conference this summer to formally announce the team, a logo, an ownership group, ticket pricing and other details, including information about how and when a roster will be developed. The league is also conducting a name-the-team contest.
