The Texas Copperheads are a professional arena football team that in 2006 was based out of Katy, Texas. They are a member of the af2. The team started as the Katy Copperheads of the National Indoor Football League in 2005. They started playing in 2006 at the Leonard E. Merrell Center. In 2006, they gained national attention on Cold Pizza, a show on ESPN 2, in a segment called A Day In A Life Of An NIFL Team. The same year, they got into the NIFL Playoffs but were eliminated by the Rapid City Flying Aces, 60-38.
After the season, the team announced they were changing their name to the Texas Copperheads, moving to the af2, and moving to the Richard E. Berry Educational Support Center in Cypress, Texas.
