The Lexington Horsemen are a professional Indoor football team. They are currently a member of United Indoor Football. They play their home games at Rupp Arena. They began as a 2003 expansion member of the National Indoor Football League, where they were successful. After defeating the Sioux Falls Storm to win Indoor Bowl IV, the Horsemen decided to join the new United Indoor Football Association (UIF), where they made the playoffs, yet ironically lost to the Sioux Falls Storm (the team they beat in their last year in the NIFL). They made the playoffs again in 2006 and made it all the way to United Bowl II; but they, again, lost to the Sioux Falls Storm. The team was rumored to be joining arenafootball2 for the 2007 season but that has since been debunked and the team will be staying in the UIF.
