For many in the football-crazy Milwaukee area, the Mustangs helped fill the void left by the Packers. This led to the Mustangs being, arguably, the best supported team in the AFL's history. The team never finished lower than eighth in seasonal attendance, regularly drawing in the 14,000's and 15,000's (at a time when average attendance was approx. 8,500). The Mustangs even led the AFL in attendance in 1996.

The AFL folded the team after the 2001 season, due to uncertainty regarding arena availability. Ever since then, the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin was left without an arena football team until the formation of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers of the CIFL. The Milwaukee Bonecrushers are a team of the Continental Indoor Football League scheduled to begin play in 2008.
