Springfield Stallions

The Springfield Stallions were an indoor football team that played their home games in Springfield Illinois. They were a 2007 expansion member of the Continental Indoor Football League.

The Stallions played their home football games at the Prairie Capital Convention Center which is located in downtown Springfield. It has a seating capacity of 6,500 for football games.

On October 17, the team announced they were going to play in the Continental Indoor Football League.

This was the inaugural season for the Stallions at the professional level. There had previously been a semi-pro team in Springfield called the Stallions in 2006 which played for the 8FL. While the current Stallions ownership maintained the rights to the original franchise (and maintained a few players from the semi-pro team) the current Stallions' history was not considered a continuation of the original team's.

The Stallions one season in the CIFL ended with a few weeks remaining in the season. The owner of the team, Justin Gettys disappeared three weeks into the season leaving management and the coaching staff to try and scrape together a team for the remainder of the season.

Following a teleconference involving remaining management and the league office, the team ended operations before the conclusion of the 2007 season.
