About

The Tucson Sugar Skulls are the newest professional sports franchise in Tucson. As a member of the Indoor Football League, we provide one of the best avenues for social, family-friendly entertainment. Since the 15th century, the sugar skull has been a dynamic symbol of honor, celebration, tradition, and festivity in remembering the departed. With origins in Central Mexico, these colorful skulls were first used to decorate the gravestones of those who had died in a way that celebrated their lives instead of mourning their passing. It’s in that spirit that Tucson Sugar Skulls Football was born. The newest franchise in the Indoor Football League, our Skulls, with our players, coaches, and staff, proudly stand for those very values that inspired the crafting of the first sugar skull more than 400 years ago.
