Entering its 16th season of competition, the Des Moines Menace is once again ready to provide central Iowa with the best soccer experience in the state. This year’s team will feature many new players from all over the country, as well as a few familiar faces from last season. In addition to providing top level soccer talent, the Menace organization has also created some phenomenal promotions to excite fans this summer. As an introduction to the upcoming Menace season, I’ve compiled a list of the top 9 reasons why everyone in the state of Iowa should cheer on the Menace in 2009.
9. Valley Stadium
For the second straight season, the Menace will be playing at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines. Not only is the location of the stadium extremely accessible, but the venue itself provides a unique soccer experience. Valley Stadium’s artificial turf creates a more up-tempo playing style that will excite everyone in attendance.
8 Conference Home games
With a shake-up in the conference, the Heartland division has added two new teams and lost one. The Menace will kick-off the regular season against one of the new divisional teams, the Rochester Thunder. Last season the Menace missed the playoffs by one point, but the team is eager to redeem themselves in 2009.
7:30 Kick-off Times
Menace games will start an hour later, which means summer nights at Valley Stadium under the lights. It’s difficult to beat the awesomeness of enjoying the world’s most popular sport underneath stadium lights in the summer time.
