MILWAUKEE (June 8, 2010) – A “Black Friday” home opener and the traditional New Year’s Eve game are the first two home dates announced today for the Milwaukee Wave’s 2010-11 season.
 
Group ticket reservations are being accepted now for games on Friday, Nov. 26 and Friday, Dec. 31, times TBD. Season tickets and Flex Packs for the 12-game home slate also are on sale. The complete Major Indoor Soccer League schedule will be announced later this year.
 
“We’re very pleased to announce our home opener and traditional New Year’s Eve date earlier than ever.  This will give us the chance to promote the games further out and give groups an early chance to reserve seats for these attractive games,” said Peter Wilt, president and CEO of the Milwaukee Wave. “We’ve also put our season tickets on sale earlier than ever and our camp registrations are increasing over last year as well. These are all positive signs that the momentum we began last year with the new Wave is carrying over to next season.”
 
The New Year’s Eve game is a Wave tradition that began back in the 1997-98 season. The Wave are 9-3 in those games, including a 12-10 overtime victory over Baltimore last year.
 
In addition to the regular season games, the Wave announce their two School Day Game exhibition dates for next season: Tuesday, Nov. 16 and Wednesday, March 2. These annual exhibitions are part of the Making Waves educational outreach, a three-part program that also includes classroom curricula and a player-driven assembly. Tickets to those games are available to the general public.
