Mayhem Not Playing in Marion in 2010

MAYHEM NOT PLAYING IN MARION IN 2010
A press release was just released by the Marion Mayhem owners as of December 24. The owners have announced that due to its current economic condition a team will not take the field in 2010. Owners Michael Burtch and Stanley Jackson stated that "the Mayhem's 2009 season had very disappointing attendance causing unmet projected revenues. Although there were numerous attempts to obtain additional income and investors, none seemed willing to take on such a risky investment in these tough and uncertain times. Even next year's projected sales will not generate enough revenue to keep the team afloat. We expect to return as soon as the economic condition of the Marion community improves."
Mr. Burtch stated that "after conversing with local business owners and sponsors, it is apparent that financial backing will indeed decline. A decrease in sales will make it financially impossible to field a team, especially since expenses were not being met with the team's current sponsors. I wish this were not the case, but I look forward to better days and to the return of the indoor football league in Marion.
The 1st Annual Golf Outing was a great success despite the rain. There wasn't many teams for this first year event but with the sponsors and the people participating had big hearts. The teams had perfect morning for tee off, but just before finishing the first nine the sky's opened up and just let loose. With the lightening flying everywhere we had to stop play for about 50 minutes.
During the intermission due to rain it gave everyone time to get to know each other and bid on some awesome OSU Memorabilia brought by Buckeye Sports Management and Lee Connors. Several people got to walked away with autographed footballs, mini helmets and autographed pictures. With this small silent auction the was a nice variety of items that was all OSU memorabilia and we also had some other sports team items up for bid.
