MOLINE, ILLINOIS (April 24, 2026) — The Quad City Steamwheelers are BACK at home and ready for a showdown with the Jacksonville Sharks for Youth Jersey Night, presented by Crawford Company, and this is one you cannot afford to miss.

This is more than just a game — it’s one of the GREATEST family events in the Quad Cities, and it’s happening right now.

The first 1,000 kids through the doors will score a FREE custom Steamwheelers youth jersey, made exclusively for this night. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — so getting here early is everything.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • FREE custom youth jerseys (first 1,000 kids — no exceptions);
  • High-stakes, championship-caliber football;
  • Nonstop, fast-paced indoor action from kick-off to final whistle;
  • A packed arena with electric energy;
  • Special halftime performance by our Junior Deckmate dancers; and
  • Family-friendly entertainment all game long.

Doors open at 2PM and early arrival is strongly recommended if you want to lock in that jersey and experience everything from the very start.

BIG plays, big HITS, and a crowd that brings the noise from start to finish.

Don’t wait. Don’t miss out.

Grab your tickets now and be there for Youth Jersey Night this Sunday at 3PM!

Steamwheelers Football — where the energy is high, the hits are harder, and the memories last long after the final whistle.
