The Amarillo Venom play at the Civic Center and so far managed to win the last 3 of their 5 games. They do run a short 6 game season with the final coming up against the West Texas Warbirds at the Ector County Coliseum down in Odessa.

What makes Indoor Football so much fun is the game tempo is much faster and unlike the College and NFL Guys stoppage in play is much less frequent. Honestly that's one of my big gripes with the game. For a game with f 15 minute quarters how the heck do we get to three hours? Not the case here, just straight up action

There's a differences, like the field of play, it's only 50 yards. again pace is important here. With more plays, points rack up quick.

Big shoutout to Coach Reese for getting the team to the championship and it's great that they are representing Amarillo. Fangs Up!

A Look Inside the Abandoned St. Anthony's Hospital in Amarillo, Texas

The old St. Anthony's hospital in Amarillo, Texas has sat abandoned--but not forgotten--since the early 2000s. The 100-year-old structure still cuts an imposing and impressive figure against the Amarillo skyline. The building serves as a cornerstone memory for many Amarillo natives--the place where life begun (or came to an end).

But for decades, the old St. Anthony's hospital has remained under careful surveillance, and not many know what now lies within. In July 2021, local artist and photographer, Ian Watson, was granted full access to the abandoned hospital--his photos offer an intimate and stark look at the legendary landmark of St. Anthony's as it stands now.
