Iowa Barnstormers News Release


When the Iowa Barnstormers take the field on Saturday against the Sioux Falls Storm, it will have been 686 days since the last time the team was in action.

Headed by Daquan Neal, the same quarterback that led the team during the 2019 campaign on his way to the IFL MVP Award, the Barnstormers will travel to Sioux Falls for a rivalry matchup to kick off the season.

The Barnstormers return Neal, as well as impact wide receiver Connor Hollenbeck and offensive lineman Quante Hines to lead the offense against the Storm.

The two teams have faced off in two of the last three United Conference Championship games. The year where they didn't, the pair matched up in the United Bowl - the IFL's championship Game.

Sioux Falls beat Iowa to end the season in 2019, however the Barnstormers took the win against the Storm in the 2018 United Bowl.

The game will also serve as the IFL Hall of Fame game for the 2021 season.

At halftime of the matchup, the 2021 hall of fame class will be inducted which includes former Iowa Barnstormers COO and Vice President John Pettit.

Saturday's game against the Storm is scheduled to kick off at 7:05 p.m. CT and will be televised live on Stadium at WatchStadium.com. Due to the IFL Game of the Week National Broadcast the game will not be available on YouTube, but fans can still enjoy all other IFL matchups across the season on YouTube.com.
