The Sioux Falls Storm are a professional indoor football team. They are a member of the UIF. They play their home games at Sioux Falls Arena (also known as the Storm Shelter).
The Sioux Falls Storm are charter members of the UIF (United Indoor Football) and were the first ever UIF Champions with a win over the Sioux City Bandits in 2005. Before helping to create the UIF in 2005, the Storm were members of the NIFL and the IFL (Sioux Falls Cobras). The Storm hosted the 2004 NIFL championship game against the Lexington Horsemen in the Storm Shelter in front of a sellout crowd. The Horsemen won the championship game, but the Storm beat the Horsemen in the 2nd round of the 2005 Playoffs.
The Sioux Falls Storm won their second consecutive UIF championship in 2006 on their home turf, defeating the Lexington Horseman 72-64 on July 29th, 2006, making them the only champion the UIF has ever known. QB Terrance Bryant named UBII MVP after throwing eight touchdowns in the contest.
