Mobile Wizards Logo General information Founded 2001 Folded 2002 Headquartered Mobile Civic Center in Mobile, Alabama Colors Deep purple, teal, white Team history Mobile Wizards (2002) Home fields Mobile Civic Center (2002) League / conference affiliations af2 (2002) National Conference (2002) South Division (2002)

The **Mobile Wizards** were an [af2](/source/Af2) [arena football](/source/Arena_football) team that played their home games in [Mobile, Alabama](/source/Mobile%2C_Alabama) at the [Mobile Civic Center](/source/Mobile_Civic_Center).[1]

On June 15, 2001, the af2 awarded a franchise to Mobile businessman Norris Armstrong, who ran the team with his wife Beth. The af2 club replaced the [Mobile Seagulls](/source/Mobile_Seagulls) in the market, who played the 2000 season in the [IPFL](/source/IPFL) and 2001 in the [NIFL](/source/National_Indoor_Football_League). The Civic Center (capacity: 10,112) was a hub of activity in early 2000s, as it also hosted the [ECHL](/source/ECHL)'s [Mobile Mysticks](/source/Mobile_Mysticks) and the [NBDL](/source/NBDL)'s [Mobile Revelers](/source/Mobile_Revelers).

The Wizards were anything but on the turf or at the box office. They lost all sixteen games they played in 2002, often by ugly scores such as 80–18 and 72–6. They did manage to draw 5,427 – barely half-filling the arena – for their first home game, but averaged less than 2,000 a night the rest of the season, finishing with an average attendance of only 2,342 fans per game. The Wizards disbanded after only one season, making them the only [af2](/source/Af2) team to never have won a game in their history.
