Iowa Barnstormers News Release


DES MOINES, IA - The Playoffs are here, and your Iowa Barnstormers are bringing the postseason action to Wells Fargo Arena this Saturday night.

The Barnstormers finished the regular season with a 6-6 record and secured the No. 4 seed in the 2021 IFL Playoffs, hosting the No. 5 Duke City Gladiators Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at Wells Fargo Arena.

The two teams squared off once this season, with Duke City squeaking out a win over Iowa in the home opener this season.

Iowa, however, used a pair of back-to-back wins at home that included a 21-point comeback to defeat rival Sioux Falls, helping clinch their spot in the postseason.

The team hopes to channel more magic alike when the Gladiators come to town this weekend.

Quarterback Daquan Neal will look to trace the performance that got the Barnstormers their last two home wins, as he threw for over a 50% completion rate, five touchdowns, and a combined 310 yards between the two games.

He'll be stepping in alongside running backs Elad Covaliu and Evan Owens - who have played pivotal roles in getting the team into the first round.

On the defensive side of the football, lineback Tony Jones continues to impress, as he's rose to fourth in the league in tackles per game.

All of the action will culminate to this Saturday night against Duke City.

Barnstormers season ticket holders will retain their seats for the 2021 season to use for this game. Season ticket holders do not have to purchase their tickets for Saturday, as they already have their seats purchased and secured.

Tickets for Saturday's game are available now. Fans can call 515-633-2255 or visit https://bit.ly/2W9oUVb for more info on how to purchase them.
