Northern Kentucky Nightmare

The Northern Kentucky Nightmare was a professional indoor football team based in Highland Heights, Kentucky and were members of American Indoor Football that began play in the 2016 season. The Nightmare, who were nominally a replacement for the Northern Kentucky River Monsters (a team that had played in various indoor leagues during the early 2010s), played all their games on the road during the 2016 season.[1][2] Following the 2016 season, the AIF ceased operations, and the Nightmare were left without a league. In September 2016, owner W. Leland Bennett III was listed as the owner of another proposed Northern Kentucky indoor football team in negotiations with joining the new Arena Developmental League, but were later removed from the league in November.

gollark: I think the base is 1.25kRF/block and then it's raised to the power of 1.35.
gollark: ```spatialio { D:spatialPowerExponent=1.35 D:spatialPowerMultiplier=1250.0 I:storageDimensionID=2 I:storageProviderID=-11}```Power usage, meet config editor.
gollark: See, you need giant banks of dense energy cells to power big spatial frames, and why not only use *one*?
gollark: Wait, I just had a great idea, automatically switching toggle buses on and off to send spatial IO power stores to different systems.
gollark: If spatial IO didn't require so much power storage - or I could use several on one network - I would use it more. I made spatial IO teleporters one time, that was cool.
