Milwaukee's indoor football fans received some good-and-bad
news last week, as the Mustangs announced they would be sitting out the 2013
season because of financial issues. The team, founded in 1994, will attempt to
return to the BMO Harris Bradley Center for the 2014 season, though a team
spokesperson admitted to reporters that it will be dependent on the ability to
find a new sponsor by that time. Arena Football League commissioner Jerry Kurz
told media that he is confident that the near twenty-year-old team would be
able to secure a partner in time to return from dormancy.
The Mustangs went through a similar transition period between 2001 and 2009, when they were completely absent from the Arena Football League. In 2010, the franchise reformed in the short-lived AF2 League under the name the Milwaukee Iron. The Iron spent just one season in the league before reclaiming the former Mustang title and rejoining the Arena Football League in January 2011.
