[edit] History
In their first season, after a disappointing 5-15 start, the Broncos earned respect by having a winning record down the stretch and winning 11 of their last 16 games, making a trip to the playoffs where they pushed the first place Edinburg Coyotes to their limit before being eliminated. In 2010, the Laredo Broncos folded because ULB ceased to exist and the fact that the city of Laredo perferred to lease the future Laredo Ballpark to a future expansion franchise team in the American Association than the Broncos since ULB had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
