Arena Football Press Conference
KENTUCKY...
Dozens attended a press conference at the East Kentucky Expo Center on Friday, Sept. 3, 2010, to hear details about Pikeville’s newest sports endeavor,
indoor football.
The Eastern Kentucky Drillers arena football team will play a 14-game schedule –
seven in Pikeville and seven away – and team administration hopes to make its
presence known for a long time.
“We plan to be here for a long time,” said team president Rick Kranz. “There is
plenty of local talent here and that’s what we want, local talent.”
During the press conference, the Drillers made former Belfry High School and
University of Kentucky football standout David Jones the team and league’s first
signee.
“This is a football area,” Jones said. “I’m just happy to have the opportunity to
play football again.”
The team colors are yellow, black and silver and ticket prices range from $7 to $25.
