Pro Football coming to New Mexico

Rio Rancho is about to have another Pro sports team at the Santa Ana Star Center. Today was the office announcement of the New Mexico Wildcats professional football team. The Wildcats will play their home games at the Star Center, with the first home game being on April 26. I went to the Press Conference today and the excitement level was high as Rio Rancho Mayor welcomed the team and the league to New Mexico. The Team owners and League owners had great things to say about the community and felt that this was an important market for them to be in. The game play sound like it is fast paced. The AIFA owners stressed that they want to keep the game exciting and family friendly. You can see more about the game rules HERE. Here is the quote from the AIFA website… “The League will provide a dynamic style of play so unique and exciting that fans and communities not only enjoy, but desire the sport in any and all geographic area of the United States”.

Sounds fun, I can hardly wait!
