Comets Returning to MISL July 12, 2010 – The Major Indoor Soccer League (www.MISL.net) announced today the return of professional indoor soccer to the greater Kansas City Metropolitan area for the upcoming 2010-11 season. The Missouri Comets (www.missouricomets.com) will play their home games at the 5,800-seat Independence Events Center, located in Independence, Mo. "The MISL is thrilled to be returning to the greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area and excited to have one of the best professional indoor soccer markets as part of our League once again," said MISL Commissioner David Grimaldi. "Owners Mickey Scheetz, Ed Scheetz and Brian Budzinski are committed to bringing the exciting, high-scoring and affordable game of professional indoor soccer to Independence, Mo., and making all the fans and supporters of the Comets proud.” "The return of professional indoor soccer presents a unique opportunity to give back to the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan community," said Ed Scheetz. "We are excited to partner with the City of Independence and plan to work as hard as possible to provide a fun, family-oriented, exciting sports product that gives true value to our fans' entertainment dollar." The Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area’s rich history of indoor soccer dates back to the 1981-82 season, when the Kansas City Comets joined the original MISL under the leadership of Tim Leiweke, presently the CEO of AEG, INC., and the MLS’ LA Galaxy. The Comets remained in Kansas City through the 1990-91 season, when the Atlanta Attack moved in, becoming the Kansas City Attack and competing in the NPSL. The Attack changed its name back to the Comets for the 2001-02 MISL season through the 2004-05 MISL season. The 2010-11 MISL season begins in mid-November and end in April. The complete 2010-11 MISL regular-season schedule will be released this summer.
