OUTLAWS, OMFL JOIN FOOTBAL ALLIANCE

February 28, 2008

On Tuesday, the Stillwater Outlaws and the Oklahoma Metro Football League joined the Minor League Football Alliance. The MLFA is comprised of over 180 teams from across the country and 30 teams from Mexico who come together because of their love of the game. Earlier in the month the National Football Alliance joined with the MLFA to form the largest and only alliance in the United States.

The MLFA has organized a playoff system for leagues across the country to work into a Spring and Fall League National Championships. The two national champions will then square off for the GameWear Team Sports National Championship. The winner of this championship will be crowned the “Best Minor League Football Team in the World” and presented with a title belt as well as fifty custom uniforms from GameWear Team Sports. Teams may also receive assistance for travel expenses to attend national playoff contests.

“This is an exciting development for our first year team,” said Matthew Jones, owner of the Stillwater Outlaws. “It means that not only will we be able to vie for the league championship, but have the chance to take it to a state, regional, national, and possibly multi-national level.” The preliminary brackets show the OMFL winner playing the Central Football League’s winner in the Midwest Bowl. The CFL is made up of 10 teams with 7 from Oklahoma.

The OMFL starts regular season play on March 1st. The Stillwater Outlaws will play their first regular season game on March 8th. Games are played at Ruff-Neck Stadium on SE 22nd and Eastern Avenue in Oklahoma City. Tickets are $6.50 at the gate or season tickets from the Outlaws are $35.
