'Unleash the Fury': Pro Volleyball Federation introduces Columbus Fury at Nationwide Arena​

Professional volleyball is coming to Columbus in 2024. And Wednesday afternoon, the city's newest professional sports team was given a name: the Columbus Fury.

The Pro Volleyball Federation, a North American professional volleyball league scheduled to begin in February, introduced the Fury for the first time, unveiling its identity brand and logo during a press conference at the team's home venue Nationwide Arena.

The Fury will play 12 of its 24-match regular-season schedule at Nationwide Arena. Season ticket reservations for the team’s inaugural season are available at ColumbusFury.com.

"It’s exciting. It’s a little scary," Columbus Fury co-owner Jeff Gilger told The Dispatch. "One of the reasons why I did this was I wanted to, at this time in my career, learn and be exposed to something I hadn’t done before. I’ve been drinking from the fire hose of sports and entertainment and professional volleyball and learning about the sport and meeting with athletes and talking with prospective coaches… it’s been really fun. It’s been really exciting."

Jeff and Beth Gilger were announced as the owners of the Fury in February. Jeff Gilger is a partner and chief development officer of Express Wash Concepts, the parent company of Moo Moo Express Car Wash, while also being an investor and on the board of directors at North High Brewing.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is supplying some of the funds for the Pro Volleyball Federation. His parents, Jimmy and Robin Burrow, are founding partners along with former Super Bowl champion quarterback Trent Dilfer.

With the league starting in February and lasting until May prior to the start of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, Jeff Gilger said his job now turns to convincing Columbus and Ohio residents that the Columbus Fury is something to buy into.
