The Spokane Shock... RIP again?

Post by bio » Tue Feb 15, 2022 11:14 pm

Apparently, the Spokane Shock are in serious financial troubles. With the 2022 season beginning next month, the Shock have yet to pay their security bond for use of the arena (due in December of last year), and it appears that they've also been served an eviction notice from their cooperate offices for failure to pay rent since June of last year. There's a very real probability that that the franchise may fold once again unless some serious money is found in the next few days.

I didn't renew my tickets for this year, so it's obviously all my fault. I'm just having a hard time being surrounded by all those un-maksed, unvaccinated mouth breathers. It really made me feel uneasy last season and we decided to opt out for now. Looks like "for now" may be "forever".

The Shock has been kicked out of the IFL (indoor football league), and the NAL (national arena league) rejected their application.

They have no place to play and no teams to play against. They're done.
