SARASOTA, FL / Marketwired / Sep 10, 2015 / Major League Football, Inc. (OTC PINK: MLFB) (“MLFB” or the “Company”), a new, professional spring-football league scheduled to kick off in 2016, today announced the Company has begun finalizing potential host venues across the country to establish cities that will become the inaugural season team sites. The Company is confirming its plans based on the recent round of financing obtained by the league and additional investor interest. MLFB will review the venues in cities previously announced, evaluate fan appeal, local business support and other criteria to reconfirm cities and their venues best suited for the league’s inaugural kick off planned for spring 2016.
“This is another momentous day for Major League Football and our followers,” said Wes Chandler, President of MLFB. “Our scheduled plans now call to complete our lease commitment and stadium down payment in cities we have targeted to finalize venues for launch in spring of 2016. We have also outlined preliminary plans to conduct tryout camps and solidify our approach for marketing, sales, and ticketing strategies in each city.”
MLFB is considering more than 14 new markets as potential cities the league will further review to solidify the number of teams in its inaugural season. Games will be played from early April and continue through June. Additional cities will be considered for expansion for the planned second season in 2017.
Chandler added, “We anticipate providing more information and detail on teams and local franchise management in cities where our teams will play in the immediate future. League representatives are engaged in continued negotiations with venues, city officials and business leaders to properly plan for a successful kick off year.”
MLFB is one of the first publicly owned professional sports leagues in the United States enabling fans to purchase and sell shares for their desired ownership in the league.
