BON JOVI TO PLAY THE EXCLUSIVE PHILADELPHIA SOUL SEASON TICKET HOLDERS' PEP RALLY

The Philadelphia Soul announced today the team will host their 2005 Pep Rally on Monday, January 17, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA.
The success of the BON JOVI appearance at the Pep Rally last season left the band with no choice but to return again this year. The Pep Rally will be exclusive to Soul season ticket holders and sponsors and will be the only opportunity to see BON JOVI perform.
Fans in attendance can anticipate a fun-filled atmosphere exhibiting all that an Arena Football League game has to offer, including 2005 Soul player introductions, giveaways and fan interaction with players, coaches and "Soulmate" dance team members.
The Pep Rally � an overwhelming hit in the team's inaugural season � is open to all Soul fans who purchase a Soul season ticket. Season tickets are available and start as low as $80 for the entire season. Season tickets for the Philadelphia Soul's second season are on sale now. For more information on season tickets and to order your Pep Rally tickets today call 1-888-PHIL-AFL or visit www.philadelphiasoul.com.
In 2004, The Soul led the Arena Football League in attendance averaging over 16,866 fans per home game, including six sellouts.

JON BON JOVI and JOHN ELWAY are starring in a HILARIOUS new television commercial for the ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE's 2005 season on NBC. Last year, RUMBLE IN THE HOUSE features Colorado Crush co-owner JOHN ELWAY watching as his team plays Philadelphia Soul co-owner JON BON JOVI's team in "Jon's house" destroying it in the process... the sequel is this season's RUMBLE IN THE MONTECITO, it features ELWAY and BON JOVI (plus two Crush team members, the Soul's Chris 'Soul Train' Ryan and new star quarterback Tony Graziani) once again stoking the flames of rivalry between the two teams but this time the location is the MONTECITO CASINO, the fictional casino that serves as the backdrop for NBC's TV series LAS VEGAS. The commerical was filmed on the Las Vegas set (actually in LA!) in October and features members of the Las Vegas cast. The spot begins running as a preview on REGAL CINEMAS movie screens this week and versions (full length and cut downs) of the spot have been and will continue to air on NBC as they head towards the 2005 AFL seasn. Right now there is an embargo on this spot and it has an exclusive airing on NBC and on more than 5,200 Regal Cinemas, United Artists and Edwards Theatres screens in 430 movie theatres natonawide beginning this Friday, December 3rd thru December 30th. ... as soon as we get the greenlight, www.bonjovi.com will post the spot on this website so fans all over can watch. But in the meantime, fans who want to glimpse a 30-secon preview, can go to: http://www.arenafootball.com/around_the_afl/afl_headlines/457936.htmlNo matter what your thoughts on football, it's a very funny commercial you'll all love.
