Season tickets for the High Country Grizzlies, which include a membership in the organization’s Den Club, are now on sale and tryouts for the professional football team take place Saturday, Oct. 15.
While the Arena Development League hasn’t released the 2017 schedule, the Grizzlies will play its first home game in the Holmes Convocation Center in the latter part of March.
The Grizzlies will begin the season on the road around the middle of March, according to High Country Grizzlies General Manager William Thompson, who spoke with High Country Press on Thursday morning.
For local pigskin enthusiasts missing the action of the Charlotte Panthers and App State Mountaineers, Thompson said the Grizzlies will scratch that “dag gone itch for football” during a traditionally slow time of year for the High Country.
