Sioux Falls Storm football fans were shocked on Wednesday to learn that their favorite indoor football team has entered "dormancy" for the 2024 season.

What exactly does that mean?

According to a press release from the Sioux Falls Storm home office, "The Denny Sanford PREMIER Center declined to offer a new agreement for the team to play in their facility. Without a secured location, the organization explored alternative options but was unable to finalize a suitable venue in time for the upcoming season."

“We are disappointed by the situation and saddened to step away, even temporarily, from our incredible fans and community. Our commitment to Storm Nation remains unwavering, and we look forward to returning stronger than ever for the 2026 season.” ~ Sioux Falls Storm Owner and Team President, Amber Garry.

Storm ownership has made the difficult decision to pause operations for 2025 while continuing the search for a permanent “Storm Shelter” to bring Indoor Football League action back to the community.
