PHANTOMS NEARING 1000 GAME MILESTONE

The Phantoms are within eye sight of the team's 1000th league game. While the actual game to reach the team's millennium mark is not expected until the early portions of the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 season, the team has begun to work on a few projects prior to the historic game. We have added a new game counter graphic to the website as we begin the final push into the historic mark. Additional information on special events and special items planned as we draw closer to 1000 games will be announced in time. Currently, the team is working to secure a few roster spots for the upcoming Summer 2025 season and Fall/Winter 2025-2026 season. Based on a survey conducted by the team with it's

players, we expect 1-3 openings for upcoming seasons. If you are interested in joining the Phantoms, please contact Kevin Wootton at 231-638-1396 or fill out our new player registration inquiry form by clicking HERE. We are excited as we push closer to the 1000 game milestone, a milestone that very few teams are able to reach. We are unaware of any team in the area who has played in the amount of league games as the Phantoms have been able to accomplish. We are proud of our past and excited for the future.

FOUR GAMES, THREE NEW VENUES HIGHLIGHTED BVSG THIS SEASON

The Phantoms closed out the 2024-2025 season of Black vs. Yellow games on Saturday, March 22nd after a journey of 1246 miles. Following a November match-up in Saginaw, the team traveled to Milwaukee and Toledo before returning home for a game in Muskegon. Three new venues were played this year bringing the total number to 18 different venues since it was started back in 2014. To date, over 169 players have also had the opportunity to play in the 27

games that have been completed. We would like to say thank-you for making these games a success. We look forward to the 2025-2026 season in which we hope to continue adding new venues and new experiences to the list. If you have any suggestions of new venues that you would like us to play in, or have any ideas for ways we can continue to work to improve these games, please contact us. We hope to have some announcements of our next games by late summer.
