On Saturday, May 6th the Sioux City Bandits take on the Omaha Beef at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. The rivalry between the Bandits and the Beef goes back almost two decades as they're two of the longest-running indoor football teams in the country. It's a battle between 1st place and 3rd place in the Champions Indoor Football League, with Playoff Bye Week implications on the line.

It is the Sioux City Bandits' annual First Responders & Military Night. The first 500 fans through the door will receive a free camo hat courtesy of Riverside Technologies Inc. and RTI Threads.
