Sunday night was a historic night at Giant Center as indoor football joined the long list of sports played at the arena. The Harrisburg Stampede of the PIFL took on the Columbus Lions in front of an estimated crowd of 3,500 fans. “The environment here is great,” said Stampede quarterback EJ Nemeth. “What better place can you ask to play indoors than the Giant Center? The fans were great, I think we had lot of new faces out here. I know the Hershey Bears organization have great fans and hopefully we got them interested in some indoor football today.”
