The Iowa Power are a future professional indoor football team based in the state of 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 are currently looking for an arena and location to play their home games.
History
The Power came about as a result of a falling out between owner Anthony Bartley and Dominic Montero, owner of the Cedar Rapids River Kings (formerly of American Indoor Football) and Coralville Chaos. 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 are currently looking for a home arena and a new league.
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.
