History
They played their home games inside the massive Louisiana Superdome, also home of the NFL New Orleans Saints, which obviously had to be modified considerably to cut the playing surface and fan seating down to a size appropriate to fit arena football. The "Thunderdome" (the Superdome's name used for the Night games) used its basketball configuration for arena football. Using this setup, the dome still had a capacity of 30,000 for the Night. Also, during the 1992 season, the Night used a huge blue curtain to close off the rest of the unused dome, to give a smaller arena feel to it. Team colors were Midnight Blue, Sunset Orange, and Moonlight White. The team was disbanded after a winless 1992 season. The Night are probably best remembered for its Zubaz designed uniform used during the 1991 season.
