DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The United Football League has moved Sunday\u2019s playoff game between the Orlando Storm and DC Defenders to Daytona Stadium after previously announcing plans to play the game at a neutral site in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. EDT Sunday, and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The league said it was forced to find an alternate venue because Orlando\u2019s Inter&Co Stadium was unavailable due to commitments related to an international soccer match.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officials evaluated several Central Florida venues before continuing discussions with Daytona Beach leaders and stadium partners.<\/p>\n
“As we said from the beginning, our preference was always to keep this game as close to our Orlando fanbase as possible,” UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The agreement was reached after officials from the UFL, Bethune-Cookman University, the city of Daytona Beach and other partners worked to make the venue available on short notice.<\/p>\n
General admission tickets are priced at $10, while season ticket members will receive complimentary admission. The league also plans fan-focused concessions and a playoff T-shirt giveaway for the first 5,000 attendees.<\/p>\n
Fans who purchased tickets for the previously scheduled game in Columbus will receive automatic refunds, with processing expected to take seven to 10 business days.<\/p>\n
