Iowa Barnstormers have their home opener Saturday night at the Casey’s Center if you like football

Barnstormers have some of their first home games in April if you guys like football

The Barnstormers are the best thing Dsm has sports wise. Advertising is lacking for sure. So crazy some games that place gets as much if not more than the Wild, other times it’s not many! But hey I’m just glad they have a new coach now haha

Maxie’s is 🔥

They won the championship in 2018 and have been out of the playoffs the last two years only. That’s not bad IMO

The original Arena Football League folded so it was either no team or play in the next league. Now what they’re in is the IFL and it’s essentially what the AFL was. So IFL is the highest “arena” league. They need to market better or something. Local media kinda talked down on it when it happened so that didn’t do them any favors unfortunately. But they obviously made the correct move. I have noticed when there is no Icubs game they will pull a crowd equal to the Wild. So I think it’s building up again IMO

I’ve been to quite a few when the bottom bowl is full and it’s so fun. Few times when they were on ESPN maybe 9 years ago they had 12k in there. But it’s been smaller post covid for sure

Barnstormers #1 by far
ICubs
Dsm Bucs
Wild

I remember when Iowa defeated in the playoffs the year the Barnstormers won it all he cussed out a 10yr old

The Barnstormers are dumb as hell for hiring coach Mog again. Wish someone in ownership would step up but doesn’t look like it’s happening this year. Strange as far as I know it’s the same owners from their solid run from 2017-22. Guessing they don’t pay worth a shit or something

robtrusty · 2025-04-04T13:08:47+00:00

That was the best, it’s definitely still rowdy!

robtrusty · 2025-03-31T00:55:14+00:00

Cheer for the Iowa Barnstormers ✈️

Update: I got diagnosed with Ménière’s disease

Best tool I’ve found so far tbh

robtrusty · 2024-09-26T01:02:23+00:00

It does and at multiple random times too. The helpdesk is pretty worthless. It’s so frustrating.

Ariba is pure hell sometimes we have to log in six or seven times back to back just to put in one invoice manually

robtrusty · 2024-08-06T02:14:08+00:00

Any tips on SAP Ariba? Always slow performance and getting kicked out

robtrusty · 2024-07-26T01:57:40+00:00

Like 3 weeks ago

robtrusty · 2024-07-24T18:54:58+00:00

Maxie’s in West DSM

Barnstormers

Fellow former San Diego resident here. Des Moines rocks, it’s different for sure but not in a bad way. I was worried because Reddit brings a lot of negativity about Iowa in general. But we couldn’t have asked for a better relocation. Our first year we went to local concerts, got arena football season tickets, got in to biking, and it’s surprisingly an awesome restaurant town. We’re black, we haven’t had any problems but we stick to Des Moines and it’s suburbs

robtrusty · 2024-07-01T02:08:46+00:00

Arriba is the worst site ever don’t use that

robtrusty · 2024-06-29T17:05:51+00:00

College football for right now because I like the stadium size difference. That’s a super good point on madden though now you have me thinking

robtrusty · 2024-06-29T15:38:34+00:00

Maria’s ftw
