Louisville Xtreme calls KFC Yum! Center Home!
Louisville, KY (February 22, 2021) – The KFC Yum! Center and Indoor Football League's (IFL) Louisville Xtreme Football team announced partnership details at a press conference this morning. The three-year rental lease agreement between Louisville Xtreme and the venue's operator, ASM Global, includes eight home games at the KFC Yum! Center between April and August 2020.
"We are elated to be playing in the KFC Yum! Center," Louisville Xtreme Football General Manager Victor Cole said. "The KFC Yum! Center will not only give our fans the best possible indoor football experience, but also the safest way to watch games in person with their highly effective VenueShield program."
For the safety of KFC Yum! Center and team employees and guests, capacity will be limited at each game and ASM Global staff have implemented VenueShield, an exclusive, globally recognized program developed in partnership with leading medical professionals and industry experts that provides enhanced safety protocols. These include increased disinfectant cleaning, temperature screenings, mandatory face coverings, physical distancing, hand sanitizer stations, and more.
"We are so pleased that Louisville Xtreme Football team will call the KFC Yum! Center home," ASM Global General Manager Eric Granger said. "ASM Global is committed to bringing new entertainment options for the Louisville region, and Louisville Xtreme is dedicated to providing fun and engaging experiences for fans.
