Not only is history being made by the LFL’s debut in Nashville, The Knights will be coached by the LFL’s first-ever female coach, Danika Brace, herself a prominent former LFL athlete. “Being Nashville based and already part of the Tennessee Titans family, I understand passion that Tennesseans have for football. Having also played the LFL game, it provides me a unique perspective. I am truly honored to be the sport’s first-ever female head coach, and even more so, in bringing Knights Football to Music City”, said Danika Brace, Nashville Knights, head coach.
Nashville Municipal Auditorium will host the two home dates, with the home-opener on Saturday, April 21st vs Austin Acoustic and the home-finale on Saturday, June 23rd vs Omaha Heart. Tickets will go on-sale December 12, 2017.
“The LFL since premiering in 2009, has produced over 280+ games at NBA, NHL and MLS arenas in the States as well as major soccer and rugby stadiums all over the world, drawing as many as 22,400+ spectators. We believe Nashville will instantly embrace LFL Football and the Nashville Knights, with Nashville Auditorium providing fans the ultimate pre-game and in-game experience”, said Bob Skoney, General Manager, Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
