Football League to Headquarter in Southwest Florida
Major League Football, a new nationwide football league, confirmed it will headquarter in Manatee County and launch its first season in Spring of 2016. Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, where a press conference was held today, will provide training facilities for multiple teams. Officials say the league will not be a competitor to NFL, and will only place teams in emerging markets where there is not already an NFL team. "We are here to help develop young men and their football skills," said Ivory Sully, executive president of the new league. All teams in the league, ten are planned for the first season, will be owned by Major League Football, and at least one team will be based in Florida, specifically Orlando. No team will be headquartered in Manatee County, at least at first. Teams have been announced for Little Rock, Arkansas; Birmingham, Alabama; and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Manatee County Commissioners in May approved a $200,000 economic development incentive package to lure the league here. Since that time, officials have stringly suggested Southwest Florida would become the corporate headquarters for the operation.
