The Indoor Football League (IFL) has officially approved the transfer of ownership of the Sioux Falls Storm from KT, LLC to Tytan Enterprises, LLC.
Sioux Falls businessman Todd Tryon has purchased the Sioux Falls Storm. Tryon will act as CEO, President and General Manager for the team.
"The Sioux Falls Storm is one of the most prized organizations in our league, and we are very excited about Tryon's fresh ownership continuing on the teams past success and taking the Storm to a whole new level", stated IFL commissioner Tommy Benizio.
Tryon brings credibility to the Storm with his experience as a successful businessman in the Sioux Falls area. In 2003 he opened Tryon Gym, the first 24-hour gym in Sioux Falls. Tryon Gym, Inc. has grown into 9-locations.
"This is the most successful franchise in indoor football history," said Tryon. "I'm excited to have the opportunity to build on that legacy."
Todd originally joined the organization as a member of the Sioux Falls Cobras of the IFL in the 2000 season. He ended his career with the Storm in 2004. Tryon stayed on as a Wide Receiver coach for the 2005 through 2008 seasons. Tryon Gym, Inc. has been a long running partner of the Sioux Falls Storm.
The Storm will play 14 regular season games in 2010.

I never had a doubt they'd be back, but I'm glad to see it's official now. I hope Omaha gets at least a home and away with them this year.
