Mayor Weiers Addresses Arizona Rattlers Prior To 2025 Season Opener
Champions ready to return to the gridiron to defend their crown
Football season is here! Our defending champion Arizona Rattlers kick off their 2025 season this Sunday, March 30 against in-state rival, the Tucson Sugar Skulls at 3:05 p.m., inside of the newly renovated Desert Diamond Arena.
“I am so excited to be in the stands this Sunday,” said Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers. “It’s remarkable that in year one playing in Glendale, the Rattlers brought home a championship. I know our citizens are just as excited as the players are for this Sunday and the 2025 season.”
Following their move from Phoenix to Glendale, the Rattlers hit the ground running with a season opening win against in-state rival, the Northern Arizona Wranglers. The Rattlers finished the year 14-5, ending with a decisive 53-16 victory over the Massachusetts Pirates in the IFL (Indoor Football League) Championship.

“To finish as strong as they did last season, is a testament to the players, coaches, and ownership,” said Mayor Weiers.
Prior to kicking off the 2025 season, Mayor Weiers had the privilege of addressing the team at practice during game week.
“I thanked the team for the excitement and fun they brought to our city last year. I may have also told them I expect a title every year,” said Mayor Weiers jokingly.\
