TOYOTA OF DES MOINES TO SPONSOR "ENERGY PLAYOFF DRIVE"

Car Dealer to Purchase Tickets for Children Thursday Night
Des Moines, IA (April 15, 2009) – The Iowa Energy announced today
that Toyota of Des Moines will be the "Official Sponsor of the Energy
Playoff Drive" beginning with Thursday nights game vs. Dakota.
As part of the promotion, Toyota of Des Moines has announced they
will purchase tickets for all children aged 17 and under for
Thursday’s playoff opener. Fans can obtain these tickets at the
Wells Fargo Arena box office or by calling the Energy office at
515-462-2849. Fans must ask for the "Toyota Kids Tickets" for their
children.
In addition, five lucky fans will be selected at Thursday’s game to
attempt to win a free Toyota Camry courtesy of Toyota of Des Moines.
The five fans selected at random, will have to make four shots from
specific locations on the floor in 25 seconds to win the car.
"Toyota has been a partner of ours since day one, and we feel very
fortunate to have them as our official playoff sponsor. The gesture
to purchase tickets for the children of greater Des Moines shows a
lot about the type of people they are, and their commitment to the
community," said Energy General Manager Chris Makris.

Great promotion. I hope the Energy gets a good crowd for the playoffs. I'm not sure people realize how good of basketball is played in the D League. From a pure athletic stand-point is quite a bit better than D-1 in my opinion. It's a fun game to watch. If I was in DSM, I would definitely find a way to go.

I am serious. Why do you think they are boring?

I get that you may not have a rooting interest and thus it can be not as captivating, but the athleticism is way better than you would see at a regular college basketball game.

I guess I'm curious more than anything why people think Energy games are boring?

There is no defense! Same reason I don't like the NBA. I like watching Curtis, but the games are terrible! My buddy and I sat and laughed at how bad the game was.
