"Ever since the Golden Knights first arrived in Las Vegas, our community has surpassed all expectations to set a new standard as one of the best new markets in the sports world," said Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO Bill Foley. "Our Indoor Football League franchise will reflect the qualities and culture created by the Golden Knights and the Silver Knights, while giving the place we're proud to call home an all-new #VegasBorn team to support with passion and enthusiasm."
"Henderson is truly becoming a professional sports hub with the addition of an Indoor Football League franchise," said Mayor Debra March. "The City applauds the Golden Knights continued investment in Henderson, which not only enhances the entertainment value and recreational opportunities offered to residents at the Dollar Loan Center, but also benefits the many local businesses that support their teams."
"Our league just got better today with the announcement of not only a great market in Vegas, but an even better ownership group," said IFL Commissioner Todd Tryon. "The IFL prides itself in attracting quality owners and Team Foley and Team Brennan sure fit that mold. We are looking forward to 2022 and the many ways this new franchise will contribute to our great league."
"Having the Indoor Football League call the Dollar Loan Center its home is the icing on the cake for this amazing project." said DLC Founder and CEO Chuck Brennan. "Henderson has a new sports epicenter and it is at the intersection of Green Valley Parkway and Paseo Verde Parkway. Mary and I are thrilled to partner with Mr. Foley to create the most exciting fan experience in the IFL."
