indoor football
Turf under roof
Indoor football is American football adapted for smaller, enclosed arenas.
The field is shorter and narrower, teams field fewer players, and walls or nets typically keep the ball in play.
Several professional leagues have operated under this format, with the Arena Football League being the most prominent.
The term also refers to association football (soccer) played indoors, though that variant is usually called futsal or indoor soccer.
