The Intense Football League is a professional indoor football league founded by Chad Dittman in 2004.
Contents |
During its first season, the El Paso Rumble folded and the league oversaw operations of the team until the end of the season. In 2005, the Amarillo Dusters left for the af2 while the other teams joined the National Indoor Football League and the league suspended operations. In 2006, the Intense Football League restarted. Three of the original teams (Odessa, San Angelo and Corpus Christi) returned to the IFL, joined by new teams from Belton, Lake Charles, and Laredo.
Recently, the Laredo Lobos left for af2, but the league will add teams in Frisco, Katy, and Anchorage for 2007, and a team in El Paso for 2008. [1]
