Shreveport - Bossier Bombers The Shreveport - Bossier Bombers were an indoor football team of the Indoor Professional Football League ( IPFL ) in 2000 . The Bombers , based out of Shreveport , LA / Bossier City , LA , were one of four IPFL expansion teams for that season . They played their games in the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport . The Bombers owner was Don Rafferty and Matt Ingram was the general manager of the team . On August 21 , 1999 , the IPFL announced two new expansion teams in Omaha and Shreveport . November 9 , 1999 , Shreveport introduces the team name ( Bombers ) and the logo . And on February 10 , 2000 , the Bombers named 24 - year - old Edward Jenkins as their head coach for their only season in the IPFL . Jenkins resigned as an assistant coach at Colby College , a Division III school in Waterville , Maine , to take over the helm of the Bombers . Later on , Dave Lockwoodand was named as the Bombers defensive coordinator . Some notable Shreveport - Bossier Bombers were QB ' s Chris Milwee and Steve Fill , DB ' s Chris Samson and Anthony Montgomery , linemen Roman Blake and Alex " Monster " Mash , WR Carson Thomas and PK ' s Shane Thomas and Sam Corrigan . Even Head Coach Ed Jenkins , for the last home game of the season , was forced into the QB role after Chris Milwee ' s finger injury . † The Bombers experienced the least success of the four expansion teams . The team averaged only 28 points per game and was frequently held to less than 15 points . The team enjoyed only one road victory , a 27 - 15 win over the Mobile Seagulls . An early six - game losing streak took them out of the playoff race , and their league - worst offense kept them out . The State Fair of Louisiana filed a lawsuit in Caddo district court on August 31 , 2000 regarding the final two years of the Bombers ' three - year contract to play in Hirsch Memorial Coliseum . By all indications from Bombers ' ownership , the State Fair of Louisiana doesn ' t expect the Bombers to be back for their second season . ‡ With the construction of a new arena , CenturyTel Center in Bossier City , LA , and its subsequent lease with the af2 Bossier City Battle Wings , the Bombers left the field for good after that season . 2000 IPFL Shreveport - Bossier Bombers schedule .
