Spring Exhibition Games Moved to Pre-Season by The Sacramento Sirens June 12, 2002 No “Home Field”, postpones June 8 game against the Oakland Banshees. The SIRENS were disappointed to learn that their practice field became unavailable for the first Spring exhibition game scheduled for June 8. After contacting 39 high schools and 5 colleges in the greater Sacramento area, the SIRENS learned that no alternative field was available. The game against Oakland was postponed to August 3, during the Sirens Fall training camp. “Battered” Eugene team loses edge – can’t face SIRENS at full strength. Also disappointing the Spring players, the Eugene Edge cancelled the June 15th game with the Sirens. At the end of their regular season, the Edge had lost several players to injuries and were unwilling to travel to Sacramento and risk additional injuries to the tough Sirens team. SIRENS to scrimmage for fans The June 15th game was changed to a scrimmage FREE to the public, to be held at Rio Americano High School, 4540 American River Drive, in Sacramento. The Sirens players will be appearing for one to two quarters of play beginning at 1:00 PM on Saturday.
