The Beaumont Drillers were a professional indoor football team. ^[1] They played their home games at Ford Arena in Beaumont, Texas. They originally began playing as the Louisiana Rangers in the Indoor Professional Football League (IPFL) in 2000 when they replaced the Louisiana Bayou Beast. As the Rangers, they played their home games at the Rapides Parish Coliseum in Alexandria, Louisiana. After the league collapsed, the Rangers moved into the National Indoor Football League (NIFL). After two seasons, the franchise moved to Beaumont, Texas, and became the Drillers. The team left the NIFL in 2008 and played in the American Professional Football League in 2008 with new ownership. The team played most of their schedule, cancelling two home games. ^[2] The team played in APFL Bowl VI, because of the Conroe Storm withdrawing, but lost.

Former Drillers Shockmain Davis, Pat Palmer and Chad Luttrell all spent time playing in the NFL. ^{[3] [4]}
