ASHWAUBENON — The Green Bay Blizzard will be at home when it starts the playoffs for a third straight season.
The Blizzard's 89-27 victory over the Reading Express on Friday in front of 2,532 fans at the Resch Center made sure of that.
Green Bay (10-3) broke a franchise record for points scored to secure the No. 2 seed in the United Conference and will host the Bloomington Edge when the Indoor Football League's postseason begins in two weeks.

Just a few additional items to mention that I didn't put in the P-G game article.
-The Blizzard rushed for 168 yards a week after rushing for a franchise-record 177 at Lehigh Valley. Andrew Verboncouer had 73 yards on eight carries, with Council tallying his 77 yards on 15 attempts. Green Bay now has 1,302 rushing yards on the season and can move into third all-time in IFL history with 62 yards next week. The top two teams (Billings in 2009 and Siux Falls in 2011) both had Chris Dixon at quarterback.
-Council now has 892 rushing yards on the season and can break the IFL single-season record with 45 yards against the Wichita Wild in the regular-season finale. His franchise-record five touchdown runs puts him at 27 on the season, which moved him into second in a single season in IFL history , where the league record in is 31. Council is also 16 carries away from breaking that IFL record.
-The Blizzard has yet to have a 100-yard receiver in a game this season, as John Halman had 83 yards, Bryan Pray had 79, Scott Burnoski 45 and Desmond Tardy 28. Those four guys are really unselfish and great blockers in the run game.
