The Portland Prowlers were a professional
The Prowlers were announced as an expansion franchise as part of the IPFL in January, 2000.[1] The team did see success on the field in finishing as regular season champions and narrowly losing to the Mississippi Fire Dogs 53-48 for the 2000 championship.[2] However, the success on the field never translated into success in the stands, and the team announced they would not return for the 2001 season on March 23, 2001.[3] Although, the team intended to begin play in the 2002 season in Vancouver, Washington, plans never materialized.[3]
