“Today I am thrilled to announce Little Rock as MLFB’s third host city,” said MLFB CEO Frank Murtha. “Like Canton and Virginia Beach, we believe Little Rock is a perfect partner as we begin the final drive toward our season kick off on August 9th.”
What makes MLFB unique are its core principles which include an exciting brand of football, development opportunities for players and coaches, and a sustainable business model. According to Murtha, Little Rock, Canton and Virginia Beach markets’ demographics, civic support and facilities are a perfect fit for the league.
“Little Rock, Canton, and Virginia Beach, all welcomed us with a true sense of partnership and all three strongly support and believe in our league’s vision,” said Murtha.
MLFB also has plans to announce a fourth host city soon, which not only provides a solid foundation for this season but helps build momentum toward a full Spring 2023 season.
“While we’re proud of all the hard work and the challenges we’ve overcome to get #cleatsinthegrass this August, our ultimate goal is become America’s true home for professional spring football,” said Murtha.
