The Outside Rush

April 30th, 2008

The Amtrak Classic -After two weeks on the road, the Rush returns home to Chicago for The Amtrak Classic - the Chicago portion of the home-and-home series with its Central Division rival from Michigan, the Grand Rapids Rampage.
The Rush returns home with a 5-2 record after splitting its two game-road trip - falling in overtime in Orlando on April 6, before bouncing back Monday night with a last-second 49-42 win in Kansas City.
At 2-4, Grand Rapids is about as streaky as a team can get. After losing its first two games - including a 64-35 loss to the Rush - the Rampage turned things around, winning two in a row. However, after getting to the .500 mark, Grand Rapids has lost its last two games by an average of 24 points, including a 75-56 home loss last week to Orlando.
Sunday’s Game Sold Out, Fans With Tickets, Arrive Early - Sunday’s game against Grand Rapids is sold out and the Allstate Arena parking lots will fill up early. For season ticket holders who purchased pre-paid parking vouchers, please note the vouchers do not guarantee a spot in the lots. Please plan accordingly and arrive early.
