The Nebraska Danger have possibly played their last game in Grand Island.

During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Danger owner Charlie Bosselman announced that Bosselman Enterprises is looking to sell the Indoor Football League franchise.

“Nine years ago the Nebraska Danger was created by Bosselman Enterprises from the idea that the Heartland Events Center needed an anchor tenant and the city of Grand Island and Central Nebraska needed an indoor football team,” Bosselman said. “Since that first kickoff in 2011, the Danger has been a successful football team both on and off the field.”

He said that Bosselman Enterprises’ expansion into 23 states and into various new businesses makes the sale necessary.

“This team has been a source of pride for our company since 2011,” Bosselman said. “It is with mixed emotions that we pursue these strategic alternatives in the hope that they allow the Danger to continue on in this or another market.”

Bosselman said the hope is that an owner or ownership group would step forward who would keep the Danger in Grand Island. But if that isn’t possible, a sale to an owner who would relocate the franchise could take place.

By making the announcement that the team is up for sale so soon after the completion of the IFL season, Bosselman hopes that the chances are good that a buyer can be found before the upcoming season. He said a sale would need to take place by September for the team to sign agreements with the IFL and be part of the scheduling process for the 2020 season.

If no buyer is found before then, the franchise could go dormant for the upcoming year.
