Kalamazoo Outrage Head Coach Stu Riddle has today confirmed the first annual “Battle of Michigan” will take place in Kalamazoo on May13th. The preseason fixture will be a match up against the Michigan Bucks. Riddle expects a tough match, “the Bucks are the benchmark team of the PDL, and there is no denying that so to secure a preseason match against them will give us a great indication of where we are at going into our inaugural season.” The match will be played at Mayors Riverfront Stadium, Kalamazoo with kick off at 7pm.

We should get a home preseason game at some point.

Road trip? (even though it is a Tuesday - blah)

Good idea.

I always thought it would be nice to have West Michigan, Kzoo, Bucks and Indiana have a weekend preseason event to get everyone warmed up for the season -- since the first four games are qualifiers, it would be nice to have a running start.
