Professional football is coming to The Tidewater this Fall.
The Virginia Aces introduced themselves during a press conference last Thursday at Armed Forces Brewing Company.
They will be one of 22 teams in the newly formed Major League Football, which will kick off its first season this fall.
"We're going to be an experience for the fans to come out and catch real, live action, professional football. We're also going to be involved with the community, helping with charities and different youth programs."
The Aces will play their home games at Norfolk State's Dick Price Stadium, with their home opener kicking off September 22.
The team stressed that it will be a chance for the area to catch high-level Pro football without having to make a lengthy trip.
"Instead of having to drive all the way to DC or Baltimore or Carolina, you can come right out to your home state in Virginia and come watch and witness Virginia football the way football is supposed to be."
The team is currently working on setting up tryouts as it works to field its inaugural roster.
Tryouts will take place June 22-23, according to the MLF website.
The website also notes that Virginia will be part of the four team Central Division, along with West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
