Ferris State hosting U.S. Professional Women’s Football League’s first Premier Bowl Championship Game
Two of the nation's top women's professional football teams will square off at Ferris State University's Top Taggart Field on Saturday, July 27, in the United States Professional Women's Football League's first Premier Bowl Championship Game.
Kickoff for the Premier Bowl I is set for 7 p.m. and the game will pit the top-seeded Tennessee Enforcers against the Houston Doom, which defeated the Cincinnati Sizzle 26-20 last week to reach the title contest.
Tickets for the event are on sale now at USPWFL.org and are $10 each in advance. Tickets will be sold prior to the game on Saturday for $15 each at the Wheeler Pavilion Ticket Office on the Ferris State campus.
The 12-team United States Premier Women's Football League is dedicated to promoting women's football and providing opportunities for female athletes to excel in the sport.
League organizers say they aim to break down the barriers and stereotypes that have held women back in the past and empower them to reach their full potential on and off the field.
“Women's football has become a powerful force in the sporting world, and our vision for female football players is to create a platform where they can shine and excel,” the league says on its website. “We believe that women have the same potential and passion for the game as their male counterparts, and it is our mission to provide them with equal opportunities and resources.”
In addition to being showcased in Big Rapids, the championship game will also be streamed live by HomeTeam Live via the organization's app at app.hometeamlive.com. Additional streaming information can be found at uspwfl.org.
Top Taggart Field has served as home for the Ferris State University football team since 1957. Officially dedicated in October 1978, the stadium is centrally located on the FSU campus.
The facility also has been used extensively by individuals outside the University community as Top Taggart Field has hosted numerous athletic events on the high school level along with other contests.
