Storm Home Opener Is Sold Out!

The PI has a great little blurb in this morning's paper (" Storm's popularity poses challenges ") about how the team's success is changing things. A few fun facts:

  • Storm season ticket renewals are at 90%;
  • The team added 1,400 new season ticket holders since last year's championship win;
  • A "sellout" used to refer to the lower bowl of the Key being filled; now, "sellout" means "the whole damn arena" (about 17,000 people).
  • The home opener (May 21 @ 1 PM) is sold out (in the newly-updated sense of the word).
  • The Storm are picking up new sponsorships and TV deals with the likes of Saturn, ABC, ESPN and FSN.

Only 10 days to go until the Storm take on Los Angeles at Key Arena. Can't wait!
