The Lafayette Wildcatters were a professional indoor football team based in Lafayette, Louisiana and a charter member of the Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL). They played their home games at the Cajundome, the Wildcatters are Lafayette's second attempt at an indoor/arena football team following the af2's Lafayette Roughnecks, the Roughnecks folded after their single season of 2001. In their inaugural season, the Wildcatters were known as the Acadiana Mudbugs. They were the only team to start out 3–0 and locked up the No. 3 seed for the SIFL's first ever playoffs. On July 18, 2009, the Mudbugs lost 56–49 to the Austin Turfcats in the playoff semi-finals in the SIFL's first overtime game. The Wildcatters began their 2010 season with a 44–28 loss to the Greenville Force. Four days later, head coach John Fourcade was let go and the team signed former AFL coach Skip Foster to lead the team. The Wildcatters canceled their 2011 season due to the lack of having sufficient Workers Compensation Insurance. By the time their announced return of 2012 had come, the SIFL had broken up.
