The Iowa Power are an American future professional indoor football team based in Dubuque, Iowa. They were originally set to play in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Coralville, Iowa, but both arenas in those locations already have teams and they were looking for an arena and location to play their home games. They announced they plan on play their home games at the Five Flags Center in Dubuque, pending negotiations. Their website has announced that they have become members of the independent United Indoor Football Association.

History

[edit]

The Power came about as a result of a falling out between owners of the Cedar Rapids River Kings (formerly of American Indoor Football) and Coralville Chaos. Anthony Bartley had shortly announced after the AIF's termination of the River Kings' membership that he would be bringing a new indoor team to Cedar Rapids called the Cedar Rapids Power and planned to play at the Alliant Energy PowerHouse.[1] However, the arena continues its partnership with the River Kings and ordered Bartley to cease and desist in announcing any involvement with the arena. As a result, the team was renamed the Iowa Power and was looking for a home arena and a new league. On August 19, 2024, the Telegraph Herald reported that the Power was in negotiations with the Five Flags Center in Dubuque, Iowa, to play their home games at that facility.[2] In August 2024, the Power became members of the independent United Indoor Football Association, which features other teams such as the Ohio Legends, Ohio Boom, Michigan Avengerz, Wisconsin Aviators, Stateline Sting, Mad City Nightmare, Brownsville Chiefs, Kansas City Bombers and Virginia Legion.

Bartley has previous owned and/or operated several professional indoor and outdoor teams in Nevada, most notably the Reno Barons of the American Indoor Football Association (later known as the AIF) and the Reno Express of the American West Football Conference. He also briefly coached with the Las Vegas Outlaws of the original Arena Football League.
