SIOUX FALLS, SD - The Indoor Football League has announced the launch of Inside the IFL Live, an NFL RedZone inspired viewing option that will debut on Saturday, May 20th.
Inside the IFL Live is the result of a partnership between the IFL and BEK Sports, a North Dakota owned broadcasting company, stated to "feature 'Redzone style coverage of all Saturday night IFL games each week." The league's press release states that the broadcast will include commentary and analysis from current and former IFL players and coaches, as well as highlights from each game.
"This is simply another step in our quest to build and advance this great league,” Commissioner Todd Tryon stated in the announcement. “We will continue to do what is needed to satisfy our current and future customers. To be able to consume our games in this format is something that’s way above industry standards and that is where we will continue to compete. BEK Sports is a great partner of ours and we are excited to help highlight one of the many things they can do."
Inside the IFL Live is the IFL's take on NFL RedZone, a broadcast that airs on Sundays during the NFL Regular season, providing whip around simulcast coverage of all Sunday games simultaneously airing on its CBS and FOX affiliates and showing views every touchdown from every game. The IFL version of RedZone currently is the only such gameday viewing experience in arena/indoor football.
With the expansion of the IFL to 14 teams and scheduling circumstances where viewers will find themselves faced with four to five games on at a time, fans have complained it is difficult to be able to watch and cover all the games. Inside the IFL Live looks to solve that dilemma, allowing for viewers to be able to watch all the games without having to constantly change between internet browser tabs or windows.
Inside the IFL Live will be available for viewer consumption on the IFL’s YouTube Channel, Twitch Channel, Twitter, Facebook, and BEK Sports FAST Channels. According to the League, the Weekly Inside the IFL Live stream times will vary depending on the IFL schedule.
Saturday's debut will include the following games (all listed in Pacific Time Zone):
Sat., May 20 - Quad City Steamwheelers (5-2) at Massachusetts Pirates (4-3), 4:05 p.m.
Sat., May 20 - Iowa Barnstormers (1-6) at Green Bay Blizzard (3-4), 5:05 p.m.
Sat., May 20 - Northern Arizona Wranglers (5-2) at Arizona Rattlers (3-4), 6:05 p.m.
Sat., May 20 - Frisco Fighters (7-0) at Bay Area Panthers (4-3), 6:05 p.m.
Sat., May 20 - Sioux Falls Storm (4-3) at Tucson Sugar Skulls (3-3), 6:05 p.m.
Sat., May 20 - Tulsa Oilers (1-6) at Vegas Knight Hawks (3-4), 7:05 p.m.
The league will provide more details regarding Inside the IFL Live on its weekly YouTube series, Inside the IFL with Todd Tryon, scheduled to debut at 4 p.m. (PST)/7 p.m. (EST).

To comment on this thread and others on this forum, please login or register I'm really excited to see what this looks like to start out, and what improvements it makes in the long run. I've seen fans yearning for something like this for a while, so I'm hopeful it ultimately addresses that desire from the league fanbase. Of course, I'd be more than willing to be hired as the "Scott Hansen" of the show, showcasing the "Quatro Box" and declaring the fourth quarter of all games as "The Witching Hour: When wins become losses, and losses become wins!" |

I don't really see how this helps us cover games. It seems like it's going to be a mashup and a bit difficult to understand.
They should concentrate more on live stats. Some teams do well and some are nonexistent (Rattlers, I'm looking at you).

Some teams do well and some are nonexistent (Rattlers, I'm looking at you). They did mention in the interview that they would have some live(ish) stats during the broadcast. But I agree. Their box scores need an overhaul to have up to date in formation. |
