The following is the revised 2018 schedule for the Nebraska Danger, released today by the Indoor Football League.
Nebraska is entering its ninth season in the Indoor Football League. The Danger won conference championships in three straight seasons from 2013 through 2015. The advanced to the United Bowl, but were defeated by the Sioux Falls Storm in each of those years. They finished the 2017 season with a 9-7 record and advanced to the Intense Conference Championship Game, where they were defeated by the eventual champion Arizona Rattlers, 62-36.
Mark Stoute opened the season as head coach, but was replaced by interim co-head coaches Adam Shackleford and Cornelius "Pig" Brown prior to week 14. and play their home games at Elhusen Arena in Grand Island, Nebraska. They were formerly a member of the Intense Conference (The conferences have been eliminated this season).
Nebraska opens the season with a pair of home contests, followed by a pair on the road. The opener is Feb. 23 as they welcome the Cedar Rapids Titans. That game is the 2018 opener for the IFL. The Danger close out their season at home against the Arizona Rattlers in a rematch of their playoff game on June 16, 2017.
The Danger play seven home games and seven away games in 2018. Each IFL team has three bye weeks over the course of the season with the exceptions of the Cedar Rapids Titans and the Green Bay Blizzard which have two. Nebraska's byes come in weeks 2, 9 and 16.
The Indoor Football League released its schedule originally on November 14 which featured eight teams. The revised schedule is the result of an Iowa county court's decision to ban the Bloomington Edge and the West Michigan Ironmen from playing in the IFL (or any other league) for the 2018 season. Both teams will be eligible to officially join the IFL for the 2019 season. The league is entering its 10th season of existence.
All Danger games will be broadcast locally on the radio and will be available for streaming through those stations. SCtoC will provide links in its previews in previews of the games. All IFL games are available to be streamed on video via the IFL's YouTube channel.
