National Arena League (2017–present)
The High Country Grizzlies are a professional indoor football team and a charter member of the National Arena League (NAL) that began play for its inaugural 2017 season. Based in Boone, North Carolina, the Grizzlies play their home games at the George M. Holmes Convocation Center on the campus of Appalachian State University.
On April 14, 2016, American Indoor Football (AIF) announced that it had granted an expansion franchise to the High Country region for the 2017 season. At an introductory press conference on July 14, the Grizzlies officially introduced themselves, their staff, head coach, name, logo, colors and venue. However, on July 18, the AIF ceased operations forcing the Grizzlies to find a new league. On July 21, the team announced it had joined the Arena Developmental League for the new league's inaugural season. In November 2016, the ADL then changed its name to National Arena League.
As of Week 3 of the 2017 NAL season.
