The Firebirds were an Arena Football League franchise that took roost at Indianapolis’ Conseco Fieldhouse for four summer seasons between 2001 and 2004. The ‘Birds previously played to strong crowds Albany, New York from 1990 to 2000 and captured the Arena Bowl championship in 1999. But in Indianapolis, the Firebirds languished under a pair of out-of-town owners and mediocre play. The team disbanded in the fall of 2004 after the team’s final owner, the late Dave Lageschulte, tried and failed to sell the team on e-Bay.
