In their first year, they drew big crowds to their home games as they became the second team other than the or to win the. The team's average attendance of 15,240 ranked fifth in the league and was a major factor in the VooDoo's 7–1 regular season home record. In 2005, the team started strong, but later found itself on the wrong end of some close, hard-fought games. At a sold-out, the VooDoo ended their second regular season against Orlando with both needing a win to reach the playoffs.
A second-half rally featuring a fumble return for a touchdown by brought the VooDoo back into the game briefly, but a kickoff hit the iron surrounding the nets and was recovered by the Predators. After another touchdown to bring the lead up to 15, the game was effectively over. The final score was 51–40, ending the VooDoo's season at 9–7. Despite the underachievement, the VooDoo had an average attendance of 15,338, good for third in the 17-team AFL, and again had the New Orleans market lead the nation in television ratings for Sunday AFL broadcasts on.
The VooDoo's success and popularity led the AFL to consider placing the ArenaBowl in New Orleans. Although it had already signed a deal with to have the ArenaBowl there for 2005, 2006 and 2007, the league had considered terminating that deal.
Had the bidding for ArenaBowl XX begun, New Orleans would have been an early favorite, along with and. Hurricane Katrina On August 28, 2005, it was announced that due to the extensive damage suffered by to the, the VooDoo would suspend operations for the 2006 season. Fifteen of the players under contract with the VooDoo were moved to the expansion for the 2006 season. Return in 2007 In 2007, the VooDoo returned with as the head coach. The team set an AFL season ticket record, selling over 13,000 season tickets. This led to the VooDoo leading in announced attendance as well, drawing 16,645 to their eight home games, 800 more than the second-place.
The VooDoo started 4–3, before a seven-game losing streak dropped them to 4–10 and eliminated them from the playoff race. The final record of 5–11 included the first ever victory by the VooDoo over the, a dominating 67–54 victory over the eventual champion, a 78–34 nationally televised defeat at the Philadelphia Soul that ranks as the worst loss in franchise history, a 69–63 nationally televised loss to the where the VooDoo used some curious strategy to run the clock down before going for the winning score on fourth down, and a narrow 80–79 defeat at the, in which the VooDoo missed a two-point conversion to try to win the game after regulation time expired. Despite the terrible record, several players were revelations for the VooDoo., a former quarterback, took over the starting job from AFL veteran; the VooDoo offense became more efficient later in the season., a New Orleans native and former award winner, took over kicking duties late in the season and was far more efficient than his predecessor Eric Houle. James Lynch was named to the All-Rookie team.
2008 The VooDoo were picked by prognosticators to bring up the rear of the AFL after free agent WR Derrick Lewis was injured in training camp. By losing the first game in Los Angeles, and having starting Quarterback Steve Bellisari get hurt, things started to look bleak for the VooDoo. Backup quarterback, from the New Orleans area, took over, and led by a defense that threatened to shatter the AFL record for interceptions in a season, the VooDoo won seven of their next eight games and threatened to run away with the. The VooDoo then suffered a collapse, losing six of their last seven games, and missed the Arena Football playoffs for the third consecutive season, finishing 8–8. Speculation ensued about Mike Neu's job as head coach, as the VooDoo suffered four second-half-of-the-season collapses in their four years as a franchise, but early indications were that he would continue to be the coach in 2009.
The New Orleans VooDoo received the Arena Football League's Best Support Staff Award during the ArenaBall Awards Ceremony held in New Orleans on Friday, July 25, 2008. On October 13, 2008, owner Tom Benson announced the New Orleans VooDoo would not be continuing operations in New Orleans. Reasons given were 'circumstances affecting the league and the team.' Rebirth Of the VooDoo The announced that they would revive the New Orleans VooDoo for the 2010 season. On September 14, 2010, Nakia Hogan of the reported that the would move their operation to the city of New Orleans.
Jason Coffel, who would serve as the vice president of operations for the VooDoo, said owner Dan Newman would cease operations of the Battle Wings in the Bossier-Shreveport City area and immediately become the New Orleans VooDoo. 'The reason this is happening is the Arena Football League recognizes how passionate the New Orleans market is about football', Coffel said. 'Proof of that is the success of the Saints and the success of the VooDoo when they were around.' The rebirth of the franchise and its renewal would not be affiliated with previous owner of the Voodoo, Tom Benson, or the New Orleans Saints. During the 2011 season, after a home loss to the, the VooDoo fired head coach on June 26, 2011. He was replaced by General Manager Jon Norris. At the end of a 3–15 season, Jon Norris went back to being the General Manager.
Later on August 8, 2011, he hired as the VooDoo's third head coach. The VooDoo started the 2012 season losing their first two games at home, to the and. This brought their home losing streak to 12, dating back to 2008, and concerned fans who did not want a possible AFL record set for futility. However, the VooDoo recovered, and gave fans starved for a winner something to hope for. Aided by a where no team pulled away, a three-game winning streak, including an emotional victory over the put the VooDoo in first place heading into the final month of the regular season.
Unfortunately, the VooDoo dropped their last three games including an overtime loss to the 78–77. Luckily, the team backed into the playoffs with the Tampa Bay Storm losing to the Spokane Shock in the final week. The VooDoo however, fell the following week in the conference semifinals to the Philadelphia Soul, 66–53. The VooDoo started 2013 off with a dramatic overtime win over the conference rival. However, as the season progressed, inconsistent play from the offensive line led to injuries and ineffectiveness from starting quarterback, while the VooDoo struggled to replace star linebacker and defensive back. The record dropped as low as 1-8, but Rocco's return to health has seen the VooDoo start to play better at the right time, in a conference where they never really dropped out of the race for a playoff spot. Took over as starting QB and led the VooDoo to 4 wins in their final 9 games, leading to a win-and-you're-in playoff scenario for the final regular season game at Orlando.
Unfortunately, the VooDoo lost 71-42 and finished their season 5-13. 2014 featured the much-ballyhooed signing of former quarterback, but Rocco was named the starter again after training camp. As the season started, injuries led to both seeing playing time early, but a poor 1-5 start has hurt the team's playoff chances. However, the one win was against the rival Orlando Predators, and has become one of the top receivers in the league.
After compiling a 16-38 in three seasons as head coach, O'Hara was not offered a new contract for 2015. The VooDoo instead announced the hiring of Head Coach,. League takeover On July 12, 2015, ArenaFan.com reported that the VooDoo and the were to be taken over by the league due to poor attendance and financial issues.
Both teams were expected to finish the season, then commissioner Scott Butera was to conduct a search for new owners. An unnamed investment group reportedly sought to purchase the VooDoo and move the franchise to Texas and attended the VooDoo's final home game at Smoothie King Arena against the Tampa Bay Storm on July 18, 2015. That game was possibly the final home game for this franchise. The game with the Outlaws was cancelled and declared to be a tie, only the third such result in league history and the first resulting from a scheduled game having not actually been played. Following a league takeover of the team on July 15, 2015, on August 9, 2015, the Arena Football League announced that the New Orleans VooDoo 'have ceased operations effective immediately.'
It was also reported that the VooDoo could come back for the 2016 season with a new ownership group. Notable players Final roster New Orleans VooDoo roster Quarterbacks. 5.
