Riders fall to Steel on Halloween


The Cedar Rapids Rough Riders were defeated by the Chicago Steel 5-6 on Saturday evening. The game winning goal was scored with only four seconds left in the game.

A disappointing finish at home in front of 1,300 fans. Hopefully this doesn't become another season where the team constantly wins on the road and then can't put on a good show at home.

If that's the case I don't see the organization succeeding this year. Losses=Lots of Empty seats. That would be a shame to see. Attendance is already down league wide and it'd be horrible to pull in less than 1,000 fans per game average.
