Fort Worth Cavalry

The Fort Worth Cavalry were an Arena Football League team which operated for a single season, 1994. The Arena organization did not want to abandon the idea of having a franchise in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a major media market, after the demise of the Dallas Texans (1990–1993), and granted a new franchise to an ownership group in Fort Worth.

The fact that the Cavalry played their home games at the Tarrant County Convention Center, which was poorly suited to Arena Football, or other team sports for that matter, probably contributed to their lack of success financially. On the field, they were somewhat more successful, advancing to the first round of the playoffs after their only campaign. They lost to Orlando and were disbanded shortly thereafter.
