There is one more reason I will have to make a couple of games. You know the games that aren't same day as the Express.

I always did like Maul. He continued to stay friendly with Reading fans even after he headed to Huntington. I wish nothing but the best for him in Lehigh Valley and will have to attend a few games with Zac as well.

Just for curiosity sake, Bernie has been the most active in issuing press releases and trying to create excitement in the off season. Can you say what the Express season ticket base currently is? |

Better get your tix soon. As of now they have over 2,000 seaon ticket holders. The Stabler holds around 5,000. As a result, most of their games are near sellouts. Thats the biggest season ticket holder base that i have heard yet in indoor football. Jim DePaul is a marketing guru.

i do not have those exact numbers at this point of the season...we are still selling season tickets for 2008 season, we wont put single game tickets up for sale until (i think) at least feb.4...i know last year we were at 1500 as season ticket/sponsor holders and 4000 for an average attendance and our arena seats 7000. as every team we are working on increasing those numbers so we will see...i do expect those numbers to be higher

i know the heroes season tickets have more than tripled last years, which is exciting news. I have never been to a game in reading yet... 4,000 avg attendence sounds great for aifa... we had a few down games that hurt us because of Marshall basketball
