The Houston Thunderbears is a franchise primarily recognized by the Arena Football League. The franchise began in the league as the Texas Terror in 1996, before moving to Houston, Texas in 1998 to form the Thunderbears. Particularly in Houston, the franchise would struggle tremendously to garner much interest in the program, as, according to ArenaFan, the Thunderbears had among the lowest average attendance rates of any team in AFL history. The team folded following the 2001 season.
