With the af2 breaking up and its larger market teams moving to Arena Football 1, the Dusters were forced to find a new league. Owner Randy Sanders applied for his team's spot in the Indoor Football League (IFL), [1] and they were accepted as an expansion franchise. [2]

The Venom lost to the Arkansas Diamonds 34-46 in the Intense Conference Semifinals.
