Moline, IL August 16Th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New Moline, IL August 16th 2017 Steamwheelers Return with a New Look, New Owners & New League Nearly a decade has passed since the Quad City Steamwheelers played their final game at iWireless Center, but the future of Professional Indoor Football in Quad Cities made a huge step forward today. An ownership group with area roots announced today that the Quad City Steamwheelers will play seven (7) home games at the iWireless Center under the Champions Indoor Football (CIF) League banner. The group is spearheaded by veteran Sports Executive Doug Bland, along with Bland’s longtime business partner Terry Dickerson and Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson. Both Bland and Nelson have strong ties to the region, as Bland was born and raised in Ottawa, IL, while Nelson spent his youth here in Quad Cities. Donnie Nelson is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Don Nelson whose NBA journey began as a standout player at Rock Island High. “We are so excited to bringing professional indoor football back to Quad Cities” stated Bland. “The Quad City market was passionate about their Steamwheelers and now being able to bring the team back with a stable league like the CIF, is a perfect match”. Donnie Nelson also commented on being part of the group to bring the Steamwheelers back. “I am thrilled to be part of the magic that helped launch players like Kurt Warner’s career, his speech in Canton was an inspiration to all of us born and raised in the Midwest. My hope is that we can give the Quad City fans football entertainment like its never experienced and help springboard the next Kurt Warner in the NFL” said Nelson. The man Bland put in place to pilot the Steamwheelers is former Nebraska Husker and Baltimore Ravens running back Corey Ross. Ross has spent the last 3 seasons as the head coach of the Omaha Beef, where he led his team to the CIF Championship game this season where they came up short to the Texas Revolution. The CIF consist of 14 teams, with 7 Northern teams and 7 Southern division teams. Sioux City, Western Michigan, Bloomington, IL, Bismarck, ND, Kansas City, MO, Omaha NE and the Steamwheelers will make up the North. The South will be made up of Frisco TX, Wichita, KS, Wichita Falls, TX, Amarillo TX, Albuquerque, NM, Salina KS and Dallas, TX.

  • Indoor Football League Arizona Rattlers
    WELCOME 2019 River Kings Media Guide A new era of Indoor football In June of 2018, the Cedar Rapids Titans were purchased by a new ownership group led by LA-based businessman Roy Choi and his New York-based colleague Matt Stone. The upcoming year will be the team’s eighth season of operations as a part of the Indoor Football League. As a part of the transition of ownership, the organization brought on new management with the intention to refocus the team’s commitment to Cedar Rapids. We identified three primary goals as part of the relaunch: put a competitive team on the field, provide a high-quality sports entertainment experience at the U.S. Cellular Center for the fan base, and focus their energy on the community that supports the team. In addition to their updated mission, the team decided to take on a re-brand of the organization to draw a clear and concise line that this is an entirely new group of owners and staff with the intention to be great stewards of the community, the best partners they can be for their sponsors, and to compete on the field and in the community in an effort to become the best local sports organization in Eastern Iowa. From the moment you walk into the US Cellular Center you can expect an exciting experience on game nights. Whether you are a first time guest, a season ticket holder, or part of a group, we invite you to expereince the hard-hitting, high scoring action of indoor football with us this season as we begin a new chapter in our franchise’s history.
