The Carolina Speed is a professional indoor football team that plays in the Southern Indoor Football League. The Carolina Speed began in the American Indoor Football Association. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Speed plays its home games at Bojangles' Coliseum.

The team had decided not to participate in the 2010 AIFA season, but announced its intentions to return to the league in 2011. The team had also announced that it would play its future games at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center in Concord, North Carolina, marking a return to the facility where the Speed began in 2007.^[1] Due to the merger of the AIFA and SIFL, the Speed will now play in the SIFL. In addition, the Speed's website states that they have changed their mind about returning to Cabarrus, announcing their 2011 season will once again see them playing at Bojangles' Coliseum. ^[2]

History

The name "Carolina Speed" comes from the winning name of a contest held at the Cabarrus County fair, as well as paying tribute to North Carolina's NASCAR heritage.
