The Omaha Beef are a professional indoor football team. They are a member of the United Indoor Football. They play their home games at Omaha Civic Auditorium.
Omaha originally played in the Indoor Professional Football League in 2000 and 2001 as an expansion team before moving to the National Indoor Football League in 2002. The Beef then joined the newly formed United Indoor Football in 2005 as a charter member.
This is the Omaha Beef's seventh season of indoor football. The Beef will again be playing in the United Indoor Football. The UIF allows the Omaha Beef to play against some of the best indoor competition in the country today.
The Omaha Beef are in a division with the Sioux City Bandits and the Sioux Falls Storm. These three teams have had some very heated battles in their times together since the NIFL. The three cities have shown they value the I-29 rivalries that exist in that they have followed one another through multiple leagues to stay in competition.
So far, in their existence, the Beef have made the playoffs every season, but they have yet to win a league championship.
Also what makes the Beef organization different is they have the only male dance team, the Rumproasters, along with a female dance team, the Prime dancers. The Rumproasters, men of all different sizes, have been with the team since its inception. The Rumproasters perform routines from Grease all the way to Hip Hop, making them the Max Patkin of the organiztion. The Rumproasters are also considered the ambassadors of the organization due to such commitment and chartible events they participate in.
The Prime dancers have won several awards including the UIF best dance team twice. They are ambassadors for the Beef organization as well and perform in conjunction with the Rumproasters including a routine for the last regular season home game which is ballroom dancing.
The mascot for the Beef is a angus bull named Sir Loin. He has won mascot of the year twice in UIF and is a fan favorite.
