The Alabama Outlawz were a professional indoor football team that played in X-League Indoor Football. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the Outlawz played their home games at Bill Harris Arena.
Franchise history
It was announced in November 2013, that the Outlawz would be joining X-League Indoor Football for its inaugural 2014 season, playing their home games in Bill Harris Arena at the Birmingham CrossPlex. Lee Ellison, who was 37 years old when the Outlawz were founded in 2013, has remained the owner of the franchise.[1]
2014 season
The Outlawz finished the season with a record of 5–3–1. The Outlawz had the number one offense under Offensive Coordinator Mike Bonner.[2] They won the first game ever played in the X-League.[3] The one tie came as a result of the final game being declared a 7–7 tie as the Outlawz and their opponents, the Georgia Rampage, were both out of X-Bowl contention. The league deemed it financially responsible to consider the game a tie and use the operation cost to prepare for the 2015 season.[4]
