Brooklyn Bolts welcomed at Brooklyn Borough Hall
Coney Island hopes it catches lightning in a bottle with its newest sports franchise, the Brooklyn Bolts, part of the new Fall Experimental Football League (XFXL).
To get them started on the right foot, on Tuesday, October 14, players and coaches of the first professional football team in Brooklyn since 1949 were welcomed at Brooklyn Borough Hall by Borough President Eric Adams, fans and local dignitaries.
Players gathered early to sign autographs for the team’s growing fanbase. A press conference then followed, with the players sitting on the steps of Borough Hall.
