Nashville Kats coming back with arena football game at F&M Bank Arena

CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The new F&M Bank Arena has hosted a wide variety of events in its opening year, from basketball and ice hockey to concerts and a rodeo. Up next: arena football.
As part of the Arena Football League (AFL) 16-market relaunch, the Nashville Kats are coming back. For Armed Forces Day on May 18, they will face the Georgia Force in a special Clarksville appearance, according to a news release.
“We are thrilled to host the Nashville Kats vs. Georgia Force AFL game on May 18, especially on Armed Forces Day,” said Kylie Wilkerson, general manager of F&M Bank Arena, said in the release. “This event allows us to involve and honor our local military community and marks another marquee chapter in the first year of operation at F&M Bank Arena.”
After a four-year hiatus, the AFL is making a comeback in 2024, featuring the most teams since 2012, and including familiar AFL teams such as the Philadelphia Soul, Orlando Predators and Albany Firebirds. Tamara Dodd Alan (founding partner/CEO) and Nancy Eckert (founding partner/COO/general counsel) lead the Nashville franchise as the first female ownership duo to helm a professional or semi-professional sports team globally.
“We are so excited to bring the Nashville Kats and the Arena Football League to Clarksville and the new F&M Bank Arena,” Dodd Alan said in the release. “The reach of the Nashville Kats is intended to be regional and beyond, and partnering with the Nashville Predators at F&M Bank Arena and those in Clarksville is such a great match.”
Nashville Kats Partner and President of Football Operations Jeff Fisher, the former Titans and Rams coach in the NFL, said the partnerships that are established through this game will be long sustaining.
“Playing this game on Armed Forces Day in Clarksville and saying thanks to all those associated with Fort Campbell and all those who have and are still serving our country is what the Nashville Kats want to be about,” Fisher said. “Every step of the way in bringing back the Nashville Kats has been intentional in immersing ourselves in the community.”
