Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (“HOFV” or the
“Company”) (NASDAQ: HOFV, HOFVW), the only resort, entertainment
and media company centered around the power of professional
football, today announced it has signed a lease with Major League
Football (OTC symbol “MLFB”) to make the Hall of Fame Village
powered by Johnson Controls the home of one of its first teams, the
Ohio Force, beginning this August. MLFB recently announced Canton,
Ohio and Virginia Beach, Virginia – which will host the Virginia
Armada team - as its first home markets, with additional details to
be announced in the coming weeks.
“We are excited to partner with Major League Football,” said
Clint Fetty, Vice President & General Manager of HOF Village
Sports. “Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and the Hall of Fame
Village are the perfect homes for the upstart Ohio Force as the
team establishes its home base in Canton.”
The Ohio Force will be coached by the legendary Bill Conley, who
previously spent 17 years as an assistant coach for the Ohio State
Buckeyes following a successful playing career. Conley also enjoyed
a lengthy and successful tenure as a head coach at Ohio Dominican
University, a Division II football program. Other coaches already
announced for the League include Terry Shea, Earnest Wilson and
Jerry Glanville.
MLFB selected its initial home markets based on a variety of
factors, including applicable demographics, strong community
support and quality of facilities available, all distinct
advantages in the Canton market and at the Hall of Fame
Village.
