-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.kvoa.com/news/tucson-thunderkats-suspend-operations/TUCSON - The Tucson Thunderkats, a local indoor football club, is suspending operations indefinitely. Mario Wiggins, chairman and owner of the team, estimates that he has lost over $100,000 during the startup of the franchise. Head coach Floyd Johnson was recently let go. The Thunderkats were supposed to begin regular season play in February 2011, but now that's not going to happen. Wiggins says the suspension is indefinite, but will go on while the team goes "through a restructuring process." The team is a member of the American Indoor Football Association, and had recently signed two former UA football players for the 2011 season, according to their website.

Looks like the IFL was smart for not letting them in. (assuming that is what happened) Too bad for the fans in that area that never even got to see a game.

Losing their part owner, then having no close teams to play, seem to have done them in.
