The Omaha Beef are a professional indoor football team. They are a member of the Indoor Football League (IFL). They play their home games at Omaha Civic Auditorium, which was also once the home of the AHL's Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights and is now the home of the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL).

Omaha originally played in the Indoor Professional Football League in 2000 and 2001 as an expansion team before moving to the National Indoor Football League (NIFL) in 2002. The Beef then joined the newly formed United Indoor Football (UIF) in 2005 as a charter member. In 2008, the UIF merged with the Intense Football League to create the Indoor Football League.

Omaha has had some very heated battles in their times together with Sioux City (now a member of the APFL) and Sioux Falls since the NIFL. The three cities have shown they value the I-29 rivalries that exist in that they have followed one another through multiple leagues to stay in competition.

Also what makes the Beef organization different is they have the only male dance team, the Rumproasters, along with a female dance team, the Prime dancers. The Rumproasters, men of all different sizes, have been with the team since its inception. The Rumproasters perform routines from Grease all the way to hip hop, making them the Max Patkin of the organization.[clarification needed] The Rumproasters are also considered the ambassadors of the organization due to such commitment and charitable events they participate in.

The Prime dancers have won several awards including the best dance team three times in the UIF and 2009 dance team of the year in the IFL. They are ambassadors for the Beef organization as well and perform in conjunction with the Rumproasters including a routine for the last regular-season home game which can include ballroom dancing.

The mascot for the Beef is an Angus bull named Sir Loin. He has won mascot of the year three times in UIF and was named[by whom?] 2009 mascot of the year in the IFL and is a fan favorite. Again he was named Mascot of the Year for 2011.

The Omaha Beef have worked in partnership with Omaha's ESPN Radio, 1620 AM, along with their sister station KKAR 1290. For two years, the majority of play-by-play commentary has been conducted by Nick Handley, with color mixed in from Unsportsmanlike Conduct's Mike'l Severe. Late in the 2007 season, aspiring broadcaster Matt SantaMaria helped shoulder the load over a six-week run that including Omaha's 4340 win at Colorado and their eventual playoff loss at Billings, 6227. Matt SantaMaria won best radio play-by-play award in the UIF for 2008. They had started the Russ and Rob Omaha Beef Coaches show on BigSports 590, their new partner in broadcasting.

Starting in 2008, the Omaha Beef away games could be watched at Indigo Joe's Sports Pub and Restaurant located at 7425 Dodge Street in Omaha. The games were broadcast via the Internet by B2 Networks and b.IT Consulting and displayed on monitors around the restaurant.

In 20092011 the organization went through several general manager and head coaching changes. Despite those changes, the team finished in the top tier of the league and continued their consecutive playoff appearances streak, which is currently at 12 years, which has been since the organization was established.

The organization is[when?] entering their thirteenth year of existence and fourth year as a member of the IFL. Despite constant changes within the league of expansion and contraction, the BEEF have been a constant and competitive member. The addition of new GM Josh Roehr coming from the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League (UFL) and the hiring of Bruce Cowdrey as head coach has made the Beef an even more solid franchise.

For 2013, the BEEF will be moving to a new arena in Ralston, Nebraska, which is a suburb of Omaha. It will be dubbed as the "New Slaughterhouse".
