Managing the Chicago Blitz Indoor Football Team
Tom Gosche was the president and general business manager of the Chicago Blitz indoor football team from roughly 2015 through the 2017 seasons.
According to Wikipedia the Blitz were members of American Indoor Football (AIF) in 2015 and 2016 and the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) in 2014. They played their home games at the Odeum Expo Center. The Blitz briefly joined the regional Midwest Professional Indoor Football (MPIF) for the 2018 season, but ceased operations once again after three games.
Tom visited the Pigpen recently to tell us the tales of being in the front offices of a start up Indoor football team and the challenges that the position and circumstances brought. His marketing savvy, hard work by he and co-workers helped keep the team and the fledgling league they played in afloat.
