JACKSONVILLE, FL (October 22, 2009) – The United Football League announced an additional venue and a venue change as the UFL has completed two weeks of games. The November 4th game at Citi Field featuring the New York Sentinels vs. the Las Vegas Locos has been moved to Hofstra’s James M, Shuart Stadium. The November 14th game at AT&T Park featuring the California Redwoods vs. Las Vegas Locos has been moved to San Jose State University’s Spartan Stadium. The November 19th game between the California Redwoods vs. Florida Tuskers remains at AT&T Park.
“The UFL has gotten off to a fantastic start with high-quality, affordable football action, talented players hungry for the opportunity to compete, innovative television broadcasts and a tremendous overall game-day experience for the fans,” said Commissioner Michael Huyghue. “With the completion of four games, we thought this was a good time to evaluate our strategies and make adjustments where necessary. While Citi Field is a phenomenal facility and we look forward to playing a game there in the future, we feel Hofstra is a better fit for us right now as a football facility. Hofstra University has been receptive to handling logistics with us, including allowing our teams to practice there during game week.
Huyghue added, “Spartan Stadium has always been in our plans to use as a secondary venue to AT&T Park during baseball season. By moving one of our games from AT&T Park to San Jose State, we are able to get a feel for Spartan Stadium in preparation for next year while broadening our Redwoods fan base.”
Fans who purchased tickets for the November 4th game at Citi Field and the November 14th game at AT&T Park can obtain a full refund at the original point of purchase.

go sentinels!
Moving teh game at CITIField is so disappointing
Damn. I had just purchased tickets to the next game at AT&T Park. I hope they get some better attendance in San Jose, but I will be seeking a refund. San Jose sucks to drive to and it has no BART access.
In the letter announcing the change, they refer to the league as about to debut in October…it seems like the debut did occur.
