The team was announced on June 20, 2006, the same day as the team now known as the Danville Demolition. One month later, it was announced that Todd Ellis, former Georgia Tech Football Player, would be the team owner.
A name-the team contest was held, and despite Ellis' preference of "Tupelo Kings" (which would have been in honor of Elvis Presley-the "King of Rock 'n' Roll" was born in Tupelo), the team was christened the Mississippi Mudcats, the same day they would announce Brian Brents as their head coach.
Tupelo had previously hosted another indoor football team, the Tupelo FireAnts, who played in the NIFL and UIF from 2002 until 2005.
