Players in the new NIFL will definitely be playing for the love of the game. Ideally, Skeen said he'll be able to find several local players with college experience that have the desire to strap on the pads again. Kids that are good athletes that didn't want to stay in the big city and want to come back home. That's what you're going to see in this league for the most part. The game was designed with the spectator in mind.
Fans even get to keep footballs that end up in the stands except for on kicking plays.
We may even have to have people in the front two rows sign some waivers because they get players in their laps. That is a common occurrence. For someone that hasn't witnessed an indoor football game, Skeen said that it's a lot different than regular football. The athletes are going to have to understand what they're going to have to do inside. It's going to be a big change for a college athlete coming in, used to playing on an 11-man field to play on a very small area.
