Could Savannah Be Getting an Indoor Football Team?

Hey football fans! How thrilled would you be if Savannah had a football team? It wouldn’t be pro ball of course, but there are talks of  the Louisiana based Southern Indoor Football League considering expanding eastward in  Georgia, and Savannah is about as far east as you can get.

D.J. Daniels, a front man for GT Sports and the Southern Indoor Football League visited Savannah to see if it would be a good fit for the indoor league. So far, it looks like Savannah is close in the running with Macon.

The decision hasn’t been made yet, but it’s assumed that something will be solid come mid-August. I think that this would be great for Savannah. It’ll give everyone something to look forward to besides the Sand Gnats for sports, and may bring even more people into this great city. The only downside is that games will take place during the spring; way out of the football season range. Oh well, only time will tell.

The SIFL has teams in Columbus and Albany in Georgia, Greeville in South Carolina and Lafayette and Lake Charles in Louisiana.
