The Philadelphia KiXX are relocating to the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University for the 2009-10 season. They will make their debut in their new home when they open the home portion of their 14th season on Saturday, January 9, when they face the Rockford Rampage at 7 p.m.

“We are extremely excited to be playing our home games in the intimate Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University,” said Jeff Rotwitt. “The Liacouras Center is a beautiful facility with a high-level of customer service and incredible sightlines for indoor soccer.”

The Liacouras Center is operated by Global Spectrum, the public assembly facility management subsidiary of Comcast-Spectacor, the Philadelphia-based sports and entertainment firm which owns among many entities the KiXX’s former home, the Spectrum. The two-time champion KiXX relocated to the Liacouras Center as the Spectrum is set to close on Saturday, October 31, and will be replaced by a retail, restaurant and entertainment complex called Philly Live.

“On behalf of Temple University, we are thrilled that the KiXX will call the Liacouras Center their new home,” said Global Spectrum’s Fran Rodowicz, General Manager of the arena. “We look forward to working closely with the Kixx and creating new opportunities for their fans to enjoy indoor soccer at the Liacouras Center.”
