Wichita’s indoor football team will play in the Champions Indoor Football league championship game on Monday.
The Wichita Force will go up against the Amarillo Venom at Intrust Bank Arena. It’s the first time for both teams in the Champions Indoor Football final.
Head coach Paco Martinez says the Force’s strong record earned the team the home-field advantage. He says he expects a big turnout at the game.
“The fan base is great. It’s growing every year; we continue to get more," he says. "The die-hard fans increase, and they are die-hards. We have several groups of fans that travel everywhere with us.”
The team, now in its second season, was actually nominated for Best Fan Base, but lost to the Omaha Beef.
And unlike the NFL, indoor football moves pretty quickly, so Martinez says to expect a fast-paced game.
“Lots of points, lots of hits," he says. "You can hear and you can see and you can feel what's going on on the field."
The game starts at 7 p.m. at the Intrust Bank Arena.
