Thunder Press Release On Finals Schedule

Below is a press release issued by the Wichita Thunder today. The reason for the later dates if Allen wins in addition to starting the series at home if Missouri wins and on the road if Allen wins is the Allen Event Center (AEC) is tied up with "The Peddler Show" this weekend. With a three day event (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) along with set up and break down the two games in Allen will be midweek.
What is the "Peddler Show" you ask. Here is the description fromt he web page:

The Peddler Show: The shopping experience custom built just for YOU!For the past 36 years, The Peddler Show has offered Texas shoppers a truly remarkable and one-of-a-kind shopping experience. Currently operating over 25 shows annually, The Peddler Show Staff is committed to maintaining a contemporary and unique marketplace – offering repeat shoppers something new with each visit. Shoppers will find a vast selection of exclusive items including personalized designs, home décor, hand crafted jewelry, fashionable clothing, gourmet treats, creative gifts and so much more!

Kind of sad if Allen does manage to win tonight that they will miss out on weekend games once again. They have been plagued by low attendance which can partially be blamed on having to play games during the week because of AEC scheduling conflicts. This has been the case in the semi finals and it appears if Allen makes it to the finals it will happen again.

Here is the Wichita press release:
