The Frisco Fighters are a professional indoor football team based in Frisco, Texas. A member of the Indoor Football League, the Fighters play their home games at the Comerica Center. The team was set to participate in the 2020 season, but were unable to play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
History
On November 24, 2019, the IFL announced a new expansion team in Frisco owned by automobile dealer Steve Germain and his family.[1] They are the third indoor football team to play in Frisco following the Intense Football League's Frisco Thunder (2007–2008) and Champions Indoor Football's Texas Revolution (2018–2019). On December 11, the Fighters announced their team name, logo, color scheme, and coaching staff, with arena football veteran Clint Dolezel (best known for his time as the Grand Rapids Rampage' starting quarterback) serving as the team's inaugural head coach.[2][3] The Fighters added former Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver Drew Pearson as chief relationships officer and an analyst for all the Fighters' televised games.[4]
The IFL completed two games in the 2020 season before the entire season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic without the Fighters playing a game. The Fighters' inaugural season was eventually cancelled outright.[5]
The Fighters played their first game on May 15, 2021, on the road in a 36–33 win over the relaunched Spokane Shock.[6]
