An Indoor Football League team will be headquartered at the Fishers Event Center starting in 2025, according to an announcement from the City of Fishers.
IFL Commissioner Todd Tryon, team owner Jim Hallett and Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness announced the new venture Oct. 24 at the grounds of the Fishers Events Center, which is under construction following a groundbreaking this summer.
“Great leadership, great market, a beautiful new arena and great ownership,” Tryon stated. “Everything we are looking for. 2025 will be here before you know it and the Indy market is going to love this.”
Hallett said he is excited to bring another professional sports team to the Indianapolis area.
“The new event center in Fishers is going to become a hub for sports and entertainment and I’m excited to offer another affordable family fun experience in our city,” he said.
Hallett also owns ECHL team Indy Fuel, set to begin play in the new event center toward the end of 2024. The yet-to-be-named football team will be managed by the same front office as Indy Fuel and expects to play its first games at the center in March 2025.
“Since the very early plans of the Fishers Event Center came together, we’ve always been driven to create a place that brings the community, families and entertainment enthusiasts together,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated. “We’re excited to bring some of that vision to life and we are thrilled to support our new team in the Indoor Football League.”

The official team name will be announced at a later date.
