The Soul would also need to win their first round postseason game on August 7th. The Conference Championship game would be played at the PPL Center in Allentown on Sunday, August 14 at 6 p.m. should these two scenarios play out in the coming weeks.
Tickets for the Conference Championship Game are also on sale now at www.pplcenter.com. Should this game not be played at the PPL Center, all ticket purchasers will be issued a refund. Specially priced two-game playoff packages as well as group tickets and experiences for both games can be purchased now by calling 888-789-SOUL.
“We had a tremendous experience last Saturday and can’t wait to get back to Allentown for the postseason on August 7th,” said Ron Jaworski, Soul owner. “We need the Lehigh Valley in addition to our loyal Philadelphia fans to make this building very difficult to play in for our opponent!”
“We’re excited to host the Soul for an AFL playoff game at PPL Center,” said Spectra's Gunnar Fox, general manager of PPL Center. “This venue was built for big events like this and we're thrilled to continue to provide first-class entertainment to the Lehigh Valley."
The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks have the exclusive rights to indoor football at the PPL Center, but waived their exclusivity in order to bring the Philadelphia Soul to Allentown once again, this time to bring postseason football to the Lehigh Valley.
The Soul have won four division championships, three conference championships and one ArenaBowl Championship in their ten seasons in the AFL and have the highest winning percentage of any professional sports team in Philadelphia during that time.
PPL Center Club Seat holders will have their seats reserved with the opportunity to purchase until Friday, July 15.
