KISS frontman Paul Stanley performed the national anthem Sunday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles before the baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and video of the event has surfaced.

Stanley was sporting a new LA KISS shirt for the occasion, as KISS recently announced the launch of their own Arena Football League team.

The news brings professional football back to Los Angeles after a five year hiatus.

“Season tickets are now on sale for what we know will be some of the most action-packed games ever played at the Honda Center,” said Stanley.“Arena Football is played at a fast and furious pace and making season tickets available now for the budget-friendly price of $99 gives a whole new meaning to bang for the buck.”

As a bonus, all inaugural LA KISS season seat holders will be invited to a free KISS concert to take place at Honda Center in 2014.

“As a fast-paced, high-action band this partnership with the AFL was an obvious fit for us,” added Gene Simmons. “With Arena Football, you are much closer to the action – sitting in the front row is like putting a folding chair on the hash mark of an NFL game – and it’s one of the only sports where you can experience this level of intensity. Attending an LA KISS game in 2014 will be similar to a live KISS show, with thrilling, heart pounding action.” 

The AFL, which is dedicated to playing and promoting in-arena professional football around the world, will mark its 27th season in 2014. With primetime TV broadcasts on CBS Sports Network every Saturday, and over 150,000 fan connections each week, the league is poised to expand into homes across the country like never before. This new alliance withKISS will further strengthen the league’s bond within the expansive US entertainment and sports industries.
