Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers Up For Sale
Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009 @03:57pm EDT
A STATEMENT FROM PIONEERS' OWNER COSMO DINICOLA:
With a heavy heart, we have decided to make the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers available for
Purchase and hope that an appropriate buyer can emerge in time to get the
Pioneers on the field for the 2010 season. It was a tough decision.
Arena Football is going through a transitional period. It will be played in
2010 nationally on many levels. Its still the most exciting fan friendly
sport there is. However our business responsibilities continue to grow in
our other Enterprises and are requiring a significant investment of our time
and national travel. The logistics of operating the team remotely have
become challenging therefore a local Operator makes the most sense.
The 2009 Pioneers 16-4 season has been exciting. Although we are
disappointed with the final score we should all be proud to have
participated in Arena Football¹s Arena Cup Title Game in Las Vegas. The last
four Pioneers seasons have been very successful. We participated in 2 Arena
Cup games, Won 2 American Conference Championships and 3 consecutive East
Division Titles. We watched as our Coach Rich Ingold was named to the AF2
Hall of Fame and was acknowledged as the greatest coach of ³ All Time². Some
of our players have graduated from Arena 2 to advance their careers and play
in the AFL,CFL and even the NFL. In four seasons we won a total of 57 games
averaging more than 14 games/season.
In addition to great football we have been successful in advancing the Image
of NEPA throughout the country and pumping over $5 million into the Local
Economy. We are very proud of our connection to the community and all the
Players, coaches, friends, fans and partners we worked with during our
ownership.
Any parties interested should contact Pioneers CFO Susan DiBrango at
sdibrango@wbspioneers.com <mailto:sdibrango@wbspioneers.com> . Or call
