[edit] History

The Milwaukee Mustangs were an Arena Football League team. They played from 1994 to 2001, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Bradley Center.

The team was founded in 1994 amidst rumors that the Green Bay Packers would soon stop playing games in Milwaukee, something they'd been doing since 1936. Later that year, the Packers would confirm the rumors and announced that their December contest at Milwaukee County Stadium would be their last.

For many in the Milwaukee area, the Mustangs helped fill the void left by the Packers. The team never finished lower than eighth in seasonal attendance, regularly drawing in the 14,000's and 15,000's (at a time when average attendance was approx. 8,500). The Mustangs even led the AFL in attendance in 1996.

The AFL folded the team after the 2001 season, due to uncertainty regarding arena availability. Ever since then, the city was left without an arena football team until the formation of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers of the Continental Indoor Football League in 2008. A new arena team for Milwaukee (Milwaukee Iron) began play in the af2 League in 2009.
