UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUE
ANNOUNCES TRAINING CAMP FACILITY
IN CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA
UFL Debuts New Logo & Launches Website
NEW YORK, NY (December 1, 2008) - The United Football League, a new professional outdoor fall football league, will kick-off its inaugural season in the Fall of 2009. The UFL, featuring high quality traditional football played by world-class athletes, was created to meet the unmet needs of football fans in major markets currently underserved by professional football. Serving communities with pride and passion, the UFL will provide fans with affordable, innovative and entertaining game-day experiences.
The UFL was founded by Bill Hambrecht, Chairman & co-CEO of WR Hambrecht + Co. Mr. Hambrecht, along with Tim Armstrong, President of Advertising and Commerce, North America & Vice President, Google, Inc. are the primary investors in the UFL. In its initial year, the UFL will have six teams; three on the East Coast and three on the West Coast and will compete on Thursday and Friday evenings. Former NFL executive Michael Huyghue will serve as the League’s first Commissioner.
“The UFL is a new venture of affordable entertainment that will take advantage of the abundance of athletic football talent available and will provide it to more fans in more cities,” said UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue. “We are encouraged by the overwhelming response from potential owners and stadium operators and are anxious to begin building UFL franchises in various cities across the country, and possibly abroad.”
In an effort to share resources, foster talent pools and enhance greater camaraderie amongst the players, the UFL has partnered with the city of Casa Grande, Arizona to create a training complex. On the adjacent property of the current Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort, a $20M state-of-the-art athletic facility is being built that will encompass eight playing fields, four field houses, sports training and rehabilitation center, locker rooms, office space and other amenities for UFL year-long use. The UFL will train three of its teams together in Casa Grande while the other three teams will train in a similar environment in a location still to be finalized.
