Bay Area Panthers media here! This is my second year being part of this team and league, let me just say the IFL is amazing! It’s one of a kind and the fans are what make this league fun. This video was done very well - thank you for this!! Continuing to grow the IFL!!
Out of all of the arena football leagues currently operating, the Indoor Football League has the most stable business model run by people who actually know what they're doing. Proud Massachusetts Pirates fan right here!
Excellent video I've been an arena fan since the days of the original AFL and have been watching the IFL for the past 4 years trying to spread the word.... I'm gonna share this video now to introduce people to this wonderful league
The IFL would be more successful if there was just one definitive league for indoor football. Arena football in general should take an example from the Spring League's and merge to become bigger,better,faster, and stronger. Then, arena/indoor football will be put on the map and have a seat at its rightful, glorious place in the sports world!
Awesome video along with an amazing overview of the league. The points you brought up were definitely why I became a fan last year, now this will be my first season as a season ticket holders for the Sugar Skulls, and overall it’s a blast to interact with the players whether they be on the field, or texting them!! Can’t wait for the season, I’ll be at every Sugar Skulls game home and away in my Bonesona of Red horns and White Hair. Go Skulls, and again, amazing video!!
The biggest thing lacking in the IFL are the nets. I know the nets are patented and licensed but what is to stop the IFL from hanging inflatable barriers for the similar effect. It would squeeze the fans into the middlefield seats and bring another exciting aspect into the game. This was the best video ever made in promotion of the IFL and indoor football in general. Great job!
Thank you very much. I so agree about the nets. I could be wrong, but I believe the patent has expired and the IFL could adopt if they chose to. It's a good idea to add them. I'm with ya!
Something else that helps the IFL,,they still have the upper limit on how much a player makes per game,when the AFL, in both incarnations decided to go the more traditional X amount of money over the contracts length, they started running into alot of financial problems.
I help work broadcast for the rattlers and run the sugar skulls broadcast, I've done plenty of other football games but IFL is 100% my favorite to broadcast. It's super entertaining
I got a season Ticket in the cheapest section, and it's eight games for under $150. I'm on my second Season Ticket and am looking forward to this season!! GO PANTHERS!!!
My family and I went to a Chicago Slaughter game back in like 2010 and it was a lot of fun and we still quote the joke they had about flags being on the field.
@zoproductions8378 every time the refs through a flag the announcer would go "There's a flag" The whole crowd would "where" and he would go "on the field" and then the whole crowd would thank him
Gunslinger fans are excited to begin a new chapter in a great league! The NAL was pretty sketchy at times. We didn’t know if last season would actually finish which Im sure messes with players heads.
NAZ WRANGLERS! Big time entertainment in a small community A lot more people showing up for the games here than some other franchises. Forward this video, and let's fill more IFL seats.
I wish I could I have an Indoor Football team in the state of Michigan cos I had 3 Indoor Football The Detroit Drive, The Detroit Fury, and The Grand Rapids Rampage😢
Hey Vegas Knight Hawks lifetime season ticket member here, I feel like you didnt do us justice with on a only around a minute and thirty seconds. Please do a separate video talking about the Knight Hawks and how good they are please and thank you!
Fair. But given they're a new team, there wasn't much history that could be told. They're an awesome freaking team, and the game atmosphere is next to none! Being as busy as I am, I can't just make a team video without something to justify that time.
Thank you very much! Please share it with people you think might be interested in the sport. We want more people to become aware of this entertainment.
You got room for one more team⁉️😆 I would love to see a rebirth of my hometown Grand Rapids Rampage. We folded a few years ago, but GR has a basketball team now, so you would think we could support indoor football again?
I only know about the IFL because i live in AZ and the Rattlers have been one of the most dominant championship teams for the last 15 or so years (in the AFL)
I found it hilarious that small time arena leagues let you keep the balls that end up in the stands yet the billion dollars NFL don't Like that doesn't make any sense in the slightest
I really wish that indoor/arena leagues were more regional, like minor league baseball. I get the draw for owners and fans to say "National Champs" over, say, Northeast, or Southeast, or Midwest, or Great Plains, or Western Champs. But at the same time the IFL's Mass Pirates and Jax Sharks and NAL's CAR Cobras and ID Horsemen have to have a much higher travel cost than others that can be a damper for players and owners. I can't help but think that was a reason for some of the AFL's money woes. To add on, I can't help but think that if there were 4-6 regional leagues with 6-10 teams, there would be more opportunities for players and coaches and survivability/stability for teams. I hope both the IFL and AFL v3 can survive and thrive. I also know that different leagues have different standards, which leads to different turnover rates and products on the field. Either way, this was a great video. Hopefully, the indoor game can catch on everywhere like it has in some of the areas of the great plains, and maybe even become an entry point for NFL scounting (I'd love a world where NFL teams have an indoor affiliate, then Spring League affiliate, and then the scount team.)
As a Barnstormers fan and a Quad City Steamwheelers fan... the Barnstormers have won one... ONE championship ever. Kurt Warner played for two years and lost both championship games. The Barnstormers didn't win a championship until 2018. Historic? Yes. A 'few' championships? No, just one.
What sticks out to me about the league's history, especially recent history, and growth is not who they asked to join but what they asked to join. Champions. Now the timing makes it an amazing coincidence, or does it? Duke City wins championship, joins league. Mass Pirates wins championship, joins the league. Jacksonville wins championship, joins league.
@@zoproductions8378No. That adds creditability and stability. The parity comes from, in my opinion, the rule of....help me out...I'm going to botch this.....can NOT have more than 7 players with.....going to cheat.....X amount of seasons played. And then all the coaches and owners drink that kool-aid up and try to spin it as that's our version of the salary cap.
The Arizona Rattlers were actually founded in 1991 in the Arena League. 25 years of games. Exact same logo. Why would you not cite this?! Did you not know?!
Caught most of it. I nicely done cliff notes version. There's parity because the commissioner works for it. He sets out to create it. Something that he pushes for. I know. I've heard him. The parity didn't happen naturally. It's a sticking point with me.
@@zoproductions8378 Still not a Todd Tryon fan, even forgot his name, but I will give him credit. He decided to make it a business. And he grows that business.
Good video but you didn't mention that the quad city steamwheelers were the af2 champions 2 yrs in a row and the first yr had a perfect season and wast the first team to score over 100 points in a game and they have been around for 24yrs
Supposedly, the AFL was going to have one this year, but that's not happening. The last team to play there was the St. Louis Bandits in 2021, but they didn't even play the full season.
Should be a team in Houston especially over San Antonio. There is about 8 million people in Houston and surrounding areas. People nationally arent gonna support all these smaller market teams.
I like watching the IFL because I like watching real football. Where teams are actually playing the game. The NFL is fixed because of the money that it generates. People love the NFL because they think that it is real but it is Phone. So I prefer to see real football. Not garbage.
Old school Arena fan. First game I ever attended was Arena Bowl 90. It was sad when we lost the Detroit Drive. The IFL is the best one of the lot. I only see this league getting stronger. I'd like to see the others succeed, but structure them like the Premiere League with relegation and promotion. Following the Duke City Gladiators. Keep it up IFL, you guys got this figured out.
I am critical of something you said. Sarcastic or otherwise. To call the Sioux Falls Storm bullies is unfair and unjust. So what you are saying is that winners are bullies? The current commish was on team. Not sure if he was part of those championship teams. Is he a bully because he was part of that franchise? As a Barnstormers fan I never feared them because they were bullies but because they were good. Real good.
Thanks for the critique! It was meant to be satire. I didn't do a ton of satire on this video like I usually do, so it probably felt misplaced. Sorry about that. I have nothing but respect for the Sioux Falls Storm!

Very excited to see the Gunslingers this season.
Tulsa had an existing fan base in the Tulsa Talons that moved away. we are just happy to have indoor football back.
It's a great thing to have!
SA GUNSLINGERS, ALL THE WAY!!! 🙌🏼🤠🏈
What a great team and organization!
They need a team in Sacramento or Stockton either or
That would be great!
My home state once had an indoor football team called the Arkansas Twisters(later renamed Diamonds in 2010).
I wish they were still around!
@@zoproductions8378 Sadly, they folded after the 2010 season, and havent had another team since.
Pro Football in Fishers! Can't wait.

I miss going to games. Went from having two teams easily accessible to none. We need an indoor football presence in the DMV
100 % agree!

Tulsa plays at the BOK Center. BOK stands for Bank of Oklahoma. So it’s B-O-K. Just so you know for future videos.

Sioux falls = Patriots
Frisco = Cowboys
San Antonio = Texans
Good comparison. Although, we might need to give San Antonio a couple years to know who they are.
Bucks are gone. Jacksonville Sharks are in.
Yes, for now. Hoping for their triumphant return soon.
what happened to the bucks?
Essentially the state legislature passed some laws and complicated the workers comp laws so now the Bucks are solving all that
Financial issues. Hard to justify the expense, when not getting enough revenue in return. Hopefully they get that ironed out.
I watch The Indoor Football League because there a Green Bay team there
aren't the bucks gone?
@monkeymanreal-xm2kp it's assumed they'll be back for 25
Sure they may not get paid very much. But aren't most of them playing this type of football, mostly just for fun, and for other secondary reasons?
Yes, but mostly to get film to put out to scouts and agents, hoping up advance to leagues with higher income, who can afford to pay more.
Don't forget about the Indiana franchise.
Wouldn't miss it. Thanks, Hilliard.
i had no idea my city had a team until very recently! i feel like kind of an asshole lol. unfortunately our ownership sucks but go gladiators!
