The Cincinnati Commandos are a team of the Continental Indoor Football League that began play in 2010. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Commandos play their home games at the Cincinnati Gardens. Their team is based around Cincinnati area talent, such as Ben Mauk, Dominick Goodman, and Terrill Byrd. The Commandos are the defending Continental Indoor Football League Champions.
This is the fifth attempt at arena or indoor football in Cincinnati, after the Cincinnati Rockers (AFL 1992-93), Cincinnati Swarm (af2 2003), Cincinnati Marshals (NIFL 2004-2006), and Cincinnati Jungle Kats (af2 2007); however, it is the first at the Gardens (all prior teams played at US Bank Arena).
The Commandos posted a 9-1 regular season mark in the 2010 season, winning their first nine games before losing the final one at Wisconsin. After a three week break, Cincinnati defeated Miami Valley, 48-24, in the CIFL Semifinals, and then defeated the Wisconsin Wolfpack, 54-40, on June 26, to claim Cincinnati's first ever professional football championship.
