Arena Football Is Coming Back To Dallas

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Dallas VigilantesAfter a one year hiatus, the Arena Football League is coming back to Dallas! The Dallas Desperados are gone, and have been replaced with the all new Dallas Vigilantes. The Vigilantes, owned by Pilot Point resident and former Tampa Bay Storm investor Peter C. “Woody” Kern, are competing in the revamped Arena Football League, with their season opener April 10 against the Tulsa Talons. Their first home game is April 30 at American Airlines Center against the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz.

The Sheraton Dallas Hotel is located in downtown, and provides east access to DART rail and the American Airlines Center. With great accommodations and rates, the Sheraton Dallas is a great place to spend the weekend when traveling into Dallas for a home Vigilantes’ game.
