BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: WE ARE PROUD TO REVEAL THE KNOXVILLE BANDITS NEW RIDE‼️🏈🚌
​Big news from the Knoxville Bandits family! We are beyond excited to officially introduce the arena football world to our brand-new set of wheels!
​We just purchased a bus from the Iglesia Bautista Gracia y Verdad Church in Morristown, TN. Saul Alfredo Rodriguez, his wife, and the entire church family truly blessed us with an incredible, low-mileage vehicle. But their generosity didn't stop there. To make sure our adult and youth athletes stay safe on every trip, Saul and the church went above and beyond by having a mechanic completely replace the front brakes and rotors for us before purchase. Seeing that level of care for our team felt like a clear sign from God that this was the right move for our program.
​Knowing that this purchase also gives back makes it even more special. The funds from this bus are going straight into an incredible ministry the church has been working hard to build. It truly warms our hearts to know that while getting our team on the road, we’re also helping this church carry out the Lord’s will and expand their mission! The blessings just keep pouring down, and we couldn't be more grateful to Saul, his wife, the church, and God for making this partnership possible.
​❓ WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE BANDITS BUS?
​🎨 Official Knoxville Bandits logos will be rolling onto the bus very soon!
​💼 We will also be selling prime promotional space on the bus for businesses to advertise, leagues to promote their leagues, and even other teams to showcase their programs!
​📍 There will be more than 5 major locations on the bus and all of the windows available for advertising spots.
​Stay tuned for that official announcement with all the sponsorship details. We can't wait to hit the road in style and represent Knoxville everywhere we go!
​

Mark your calendars! September 6th, the fun begins‼️
