The Georgia Rampage were a professional indoor American football team based in Dalton, Georgia, competing from 2012 through 2015. The franchise originated in Rome, Georgia as the Rome Rampage of the Ultimate Indoor Football League (UIFL). Ownership difficulties during the inaugural season forced the team to function as a travel-only squad in 2012.
In late 2012, the franchise was purchased by Kacee Smith and Amer W. Awad, relocated to Dalton, and rebranded as the Georgia Rampage for the 2013 season.
In 2013, co-owner Kacee Smith co-founded the X-League Indoor Football (XIFL). The Rampage became a charter member when the new league launched in 2014, adopting experimental rules including no punts or field goals and awarding one point for defensive fourth-down stops. Despite these innovations, the Rampage never reached the postseason. The team folded along with the X-League after the 2015 season, finishing with an all-time regular-season record of 8âÂÂ22âÂÂ1.
