Our President & CEO David Satterwhite had this to say on the merging into one Professional league. "When I bought the franchise this was the ultimate goal for the merger between the two leagues. If we are going to attract national sponsors and TV deals, this had to happen. I am incredibly happy as to how quickly it has happened. I thought it would take a 5 years. This is the best thing that could have happened for the sport of indoor soccer & its fans. We look forward to hosting some of these storied franchises in Cincinnati this winter."
