Lubbock Gunslingers
Encyclopedia : L : LU : LUB : Lubbock Gunslingers
The Lubbock Gunslingers are a professional arena football team. They are an inactive member of the NIFL, with plans to return to play in 2007. They will play their home games in Lubbock, Texas at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum.
The Gunslingers played the 2004 Intense Football League season as the Lubbock Lone Stars, receiving some criticism locally as it was felt that the phrase Lone Star should not be pluralized.
The team was going to rejoin the NIFL for the 2005 season, but were unable to when the artificial turf surface at the Lubbock Coliseum was repossessed.
New ownership was unable to begin play in 2006. Most of the team's regional travel partners bolted for the reorganized Intense Football League, while the Gunslingers chose to remain in the NIFL and wait another season to restart the team.
