Great Lakes Indoor Football League
Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRE : Great Lakes Indoor Football League
The Great Lakes Indoor Football League (GLIFL) is a new indoor football league based along the Great Lakes region. It began play in April of 2006. The league was originally called the OPIFL (short for Ohio-Penn Indoor Football League), but then the executives decided to increase the league's appeal to the entire Great Lakes region. So far, the league has been relatively successful, having a cumulative attendance of over 70,000 in the inagural regular season, as well as having been praised by indoor football critics for their reasonable expansion policies and quality ownership groups. The two remaining teams in the playoffs meet every year in the Great Lakes Bowl.
