6601 Coffman Road Indianapolis, IN 46268
The 2012 Indianapolis Enforcers season was the second season for the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) franchise.
For the 2012 season, the Enforcers played their home games at The SportZone in Indianapolis, Indiana after playing the 2011 season as a travel team. The team removed defensive coordinator Tiny Lee, and replaced him with Brian Hendricks, who also served as the wide receivers coach in 2012. The team also announced the signing of CIFL veteran quarterback, Ron Ricciardi to help lead the offense. Ricciardi brought instant stability to the offense throwing five touchdowns in his first game coming off the bench. Those 5 touchdowns were more than any Enforcers quarterback had thrown all season in 2011.
On March 31, 2012 the Enforcers recorded their first ever franchise victory, second due to 2011 forfeit victory over the Port Huron Predators, with a 40–34 win over the Chicago Vipers.
