La Crosse Catbirds
May 30, 2013
The La Crosse Catbirds were a popular minor league basketball franchise in western Wisconsin during the late 1980’s and early 90’s. At the time, the Continental Basketball Association was the official developmental league of the NBA. The Catbirds arrived in a move from Louisville, Kentucky in 1985 and broke the CBA’s single season attendance record during their debut season of 1985-86. La Crosse would go on to pace the CBA in attendance for each of their first five seasons. The team was also strong on the court, winning CBA titles in 1990 and 1992.
