Background
Historically deriving from players in the FFL who played in Omaha and Minneapolis, they settled on Fargo as a centralized location between the two franchises. Despite going to the FurBowl in their first season, they initially struggled to install a proper offense, and that began the talk to move the team to a more lucrative market (perhaps in Canada). The lack of success was attributed to their reliance on draft picks and lack of species-by-position grooming - the practice of setting aside positions for specific species that are more genetically able to perform well in that position.
The Axemen shared their stadium (The Fargodome) with the local university, which seated 19,000.
William Greypelt was the Axemen's most recent GM, but he stepped down after the 2019 season completed. The original GM, Kathryn Pellot, was a local businesswoman and managed the team until a management change-up in late 2016 / early 2017.
After the cancellation of the 2020 UFFL season, it was announced that the Fargo Axemen franchise would be moving to a new location (TBA).
