I can't begin to tell the community how proud I am for their involvement in the Jamestown Chiefs Football Team.
Jamestown is #1 in attendance. Jamestown has hosted out-of-town teams and they have raved at our marvelous stadium and fan base.
Jamestown is #1 in sponsorship. The league has contacted me on many occasions wondering how we were able to create such a large base of sponsorship. They want to use our prototype for expansion clubs.
Jamestown is #1 in revenues. With such a great fan and sponsorship base we blow the big cities out of the water!! Yes, Lil' Jamestown, NY, beats Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany (and eight other cities) in total team revenues.
Jamestown is #1 in team support. No other team in the league has a great bunch of guys as players, cheerleaders, junior cheerleaders, coaches, medics, and equipment managers. Let's not forget the many parents who give tirelessly of their time and efforts. Jamestown's reputation as a "football town" has been confirmed again.
We are almost 100 strong, supporting the efforts of the men and women on the field and the city off the field.
Be proud Jamestown, New York, we're on the map again. Go Chiefs.
