IFL Indoor Football League

2011 IFL Schedule Announced

October 29, 2010 - Indoor Football League (IFL) News Release


As the Indoor Football League embarks on a third season, the 2011 Schedule was proudly announced today from the league offices in Richmond, Virginia. 22 teams will take the field beginning in late February and will play 154 regular season games before entering the playoffs on June 17th.

"We are very pleased to see old and new rivalries highlight our 2011 schedule and to be announcing it so early," commented IFL commissioner Tommy Benizio, "We are pleased with the lineup of teams and optimistic that the IFL is stronger than it has ever been as we embark on a new year."


12 teams are slated to qualify for the playoffs with 6 coming from each of the two conferences listed below. These teams will compete in a total of 11 games culminating with the United bowl championship game in early July.

The IFL is blessed to enjoy the addition of several solid new members for the second straight season. Lehigh Valley, led by Mike and Glen Clark were the first to join adding the Steelhawks in Pennsylvania. They were followed soon after by the Reading Express, a team with several season of successful play before they joined the league. Likewise, the Wyoming Cavalry and Wenatchee Valley Venom each came to the IFL bringing substantial experience in the indoor football industry. A second team joined the league in the great state of Nebraska as the Danger have been launched in Grand Island and have secured IFL vet Mike McCoy as their operator. The resurrected Arizona Adrenaline will dig their heels in Prescott Valley opening a desired door into the southwest. The most recent of the six additions was the former AFL market and team in Oklahoma City as West Texas Roughnecks owner Dale Morris has teamed up with Yard Dawgs owner Phil Miller to move football forward in Oklahoma.

In the process of strengthening the league, the IFL has seen the departing of the Austin Turfcats, Corpus Christi Hammerheads, Sioux City Bandits, and the Abilene Ruffriders and has also accepted requests from five teams to enter a dormant status for the upcoming season with plans on seeing each re-launched for kick-off in 2012. These teams include the Billings Outlaws, the Rochester Raiders, the San Angelo Stampede Express, Maryland Maniacs and the West Michigan Thunderhawks.
