(West Springfield, February 6, 2009) The Philadelphia KIXX hosts the Massachusetts Twisters, at the Wachovia Spectrum Sunday March 22, 2009. This will be the last time a professional indoor soccer team from Massachusetts will play there.
The Twisters play their home games at the 5,500 seats Eastern States Coliseum, which has been the home of the team for its previous six seasons in the American Indoor Soccer League.
The NISL features the Baltimore Blast, the 2008 MISL champion, the Philadelphia Kixx, la Raza de Monterrey (Mexico), as well as the Rampage and Twisters. Many of the top indoor players in the world play in the NISL, including stars such as Denison Cabral (Baltimore), Jamar Beasley (Rockford), Genoni Martinez (Monterrey), and Pete Pappas (Philadelphia).
