Florida Bobcats History . Sacramento Attack ( 1992 ) . The Sacramento Attack was an Arena Football League team that competed under that name in the 1992 AFL season only . Miami Hooters ( 1993 - 1995 ) . The Miami Hooters were a relocation of the Sacramento Attack Arena Football League team which had competed in the 1992 season . For the 1993 season the team was relocated to Miami and renamed the " Hooters " in an unusual marketing arrangement with the Florida - based restaurant chain which was ordinarily more noted for its buxom waitresses than feats of athletic prowess . Naturally , the team adopted the restaurant ' s owlish logo and trademark colors as its own for three years , until this unusual arrangement terminated after the completion of the 1995 season . Desirous of staying in the general South Florida area , the team relocated to West Palm Beach as the Florida Bobcats . Subsequent linking of team names with products was to occur , notably the AFL ' s own New Jersey Red Dogs and the Toronto Phantoms ( named for Phantom Industries , a manufacturer of women ' s hosiery ) , and the Detroit Neon of the Major Indoor Soccer League . Originally the team was to be named the Miami Toros or Miami Bulls , with a similar logo for each name having been created . Florida Bobcats ( 1996 - 2001 ) . The Florida Bobcats were an Arena Football League team from 1996 to 2001 . When the Miami Hooters team discontinued its connection with the Hooters Restaurant chain after the 1995 season was completed , it developed both a new identity ( the Bobcats ) and a new color scheme involving teal and black as opposed to the former orange and brown associated with the restaurants . It also moved north to West Palm Beach in an attempt to reduce overhead . This proved to be a mixed blessing at best , however , as the relatively tiny seating capacity of the West Palm Beach Auditorium ( ca . 4000 ) made profitable operations essentially impossible . In the 1997 and 1998 seasons the team played a total of five official league games ( and several exhibition games as well ) at what were charitably called " neutral sites " , lesser venues in what were at best secondary markets , where , however , even a less - than - capacity crowd could result in greater revenues from ticket sales than would a home game sellout — were there to be one . This development led to them being referred to by some of the league ' s pundits as " America ' s Team " , a not - unironic comparison to what was then the National Football League ' s premier organization , the Dallas Cowboys . This situation was used to an advantage by the league to determine support for the sport in parts of the country where it had previously had little exposure , and should be credited at least in part for the development of the sport ' s minor league , af2 . In 1999 the Bobcats moved into the far more spacious confines of the National Car Rental Center , now the BankAtlantic Center , also home to the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League . They remained there until the team was folded after the completion of the 2001 season . One of the notable facts about this team is that they were quarterbacked through the majority of their existence by Fred McNair , the original " Air McNair " and older brother of 2003 NFL co - MVP Steve McNair . An attempt was made in the 2001 season to sell the team to various prospective owners , including Mark Cuban who later bought the Dallas Mavericks , but nothing came of the deal . The team subsequently folded having the distinction of holding the AFL record for the lowest single - game attendance for a regular season game when they drew 1 , 154 fans against the Los Angeles Avengers on May 3 , 2001 .
