Seattle's own Lingerie football team gets first exposure

    The league plays 7-on-7 tackle football games and, yes, the women wear only
    underwear. Along with shoulder pads and helmets, of course.
    Chuckle if you want, but the team has a four-game schedule and will play its two
    home games in Kent's shiny new ShoWare Center. And tickets aren't cheap, ranging
    from $14 in the end zone to $107 for the most expensive sideline seats.











    "We are taking it very seriously," said one Seattle Mist player who lettered in soccer,
    track, gymnastics and swimming. "At our practices, (the coaches) treat us like guys."

    At, 23, the team leader looks more like an aerobics instructor than a quarterback, but
    she's the Mist's Matt Hasselbeck. At 5-foot-6 and 110 pounds, she's a wisp of a
    woman with a cannon of an arm.
What do
 Seattle, Atlanta and Charlotte
 have in common?    
        Lingerie Football!

Atlanta may have its fair share of strip clubs, but it wasn’t ready for
lingerie-clad ladies playing football.

    The Atlanta Steam —- the city’s first lingerie-wearing women’s football team —- is
    moving to Charlotte after failure to find a stadium in Georgia.

    League officials said they submitted bids to multiple venues in Fulton and Gwinnett
    counties, but were denied a place to play. They declined to identify the venues.
    “We checked out everything. No stone was left unturned,” said Jennifer Colter, a
    spokeswoman for the Lingerie Football League. “There was a little bit of friction and
    hesitation with certain venues not wanting that type of entertainment.”

    Charlotte, however, is glad to welcome the team.
    The Steam will announce their new stadium later this week, Colter said. The Steam
    were scheduled to start training camps here this week and kick off the first season in
    September against the New England Euphoria.

    League officials insist the ladies still plan to play in September, just farther north. The
    Steam tried to play in the Georgia Dome, but a monster truck show was already
    booked on one of the days they requested, said Mark Geiger, a spokesman for the
    Dome.

Lingerie football coming to Charlotte?
    Staff Report

    Charlotte may get another football team, and one that nobody will confuse with the Carolina
    Panthers.

    A “lingerie football” team in Atlanta apparently is moving to Charlotte, the Atlanta Journal-
    Constitution reported today.
    The Atlanta Steam is part of the Lingerie Football League – a full contact, seven-on-seven
    sport played by women on a 50-yard field. Players wear tight shorts, bikini tops, helmets and
    shoulder pads.

    The team is moving to Charlotte after multiple Atlanta-area venues declined to host games,
    the Journal-Constitution reported. “Charlotte, however, is glad to welcome the team,” the story
    read.
    The team will announce its Charlotte venue this week, the newspaper reported. Lingerie
    Football League teams typically play in indoor arenas, begging the question if Time Warner
    Cable Arena – operated by Bobcats Sports & Entertainment – will be the Atlanta team's new
    home.
    “No,” a Bobcats spokesman said today.

    After playing exhibition games in recent years, the Lingerie Football League is scheduled to
    kick off its inaugural season this September in Chicago. The league plans to field 10 teams.
