The team will be owned by Jim Hallett through holding company Indiana Football Club LLC. Hallett also owns the Indy Fuel minor league hockey franchise. The team will share a front office with the Fuel, which is expected to begin playing at the 8,500-seat entertainment and sports venue by the end of 2024.

Hamilton County indoor football team to be called Fishers Freight

The professional indoor football team set to kick off at the new Fishers Event Center in 2025 now has a name: the Fishers Freight.

In tribute to the railroad's role in the history of the city, the team will wear a logo featuring a Nickel Plate Road freight train with a blue, black and and yellow color palette.

Fishers was originally platted along a railroad line in 1872 by Salathiel Fisher, who called the area Fisher's Switch after the train station. The town was incorporated in 1891 as Fishers Station, a name that remained until 1908, when the Post Office changed the name to Fishers.
