RadioShack & MLS Players Search For Most Xtreme Soccer Fan.

RadioShack Corporation and the Xtreme Team, a family of star Major League Soccer players from across the country, today announced the launch of the 2003 RadioShack Xtreme Soccer Fan Contest. The contest is a nationwide search for stories, descriptions, pictures or video accounts of the most devoted and passionate soccer fans in the country. The entry deemed as the most “Xtreme” will win the ultimate soccer prize: a trip for four to the MLS Cup 2003 game in Los Angeles, Calif., in November.

“Our previous Xtreme fan contests for baseball and auto racing were nothing short of amazing, yet we expect even greater participation from our country’s Xtreme soccer fans,” said Jim McDonald, senior vice president marketing and advertising for RadioShack. “There’s something about soccer that brings out passion from the fans, whether it be traveling hundreds of miles to rival stadiums, painting their bodies in their team’s colors, shaving team logos in their hair, standing and chanting during every game, or simply expressing their love and devotion for soccer on a daily basis. We want to hear from anyone who thinks they or a friend or loved one fits the bill of most Xtreme Soccer Fan.”

From Aug. 1 through Sept. 15, fans are invited to submit a short essay (500 words or less), with an optional photograph or a 75-second or less VHS video tape that documents why they, or someone they know, deserve the title, “Xtreme Soccer Fan.”

The grand prize winner will receive a trip for four to the MLS Cup 2003 in November where they with take part in pre-game festivities and hang out with one of the Xtreme Team members. Ten runner-up winners will receive tickets for four to a future MLS game along with a RadioShack/MLS gift pack and autographed poster.

Entries must be postmarked by Sept. 15, 2003, and received no later than Sept. 21, 2003. Entry forms with complete contest information are available at RadioShack stores nationwide or online at http://www.RadioShack.com
