The Tucson Sugar Skulls, newest entry in the Indoor Football League, brings professional football to Tucson in 2019. The fast paced action of arena football starts Sunday, March 10 at the TCC Arena. "This is Tucson's team," said Team Owner Kevin Guy. "We love the market and want to be a part of the growth of the downtown district. We feel Tucson is a perfect fit in the Indoor Football League. It fits our strategic plan of developing a western conference. It is a high scoring, fast paced game where fans can reach out and interact with the players. We look forward to building a passionate fan base by putting a great product on the field.""We are proud to have a diverse group of prominent Tucson community leaders in our ownership group. Ali Farhang, minority partner, shares a vision of not only building a championship-caliber franchise, but ensuring that the team is impactful in the community," said Kevin Guy. "Ali and other local owners will provide the team with expertise on economics, politics, and community nuances."The Tucson Sugar Skulls brought in Mike Feder to be the Executive Director of the new franchise.

Mike has a unique combination of dynamic leadership skills, relevant experience, and someone who fits the Culture we are developing," Kevin Guy said.Marcus Coleman, defensive coordinator for the reigning Indoor Football League champions, will be the franchise's first head coach.
