The New Orleans VooDoo are an Arena Football League (AFL) team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They play their home games in New Orleans Arena.
The original New Orleans VooDoo played in the AFL from 2004–2008, at which point the league suspended operations. During that time they were owned in part by Tom Benson, who also owned the National Football League's New Orleans Saints. In 2010 it was announced that a franchise would be joining the restructured AFL and carrying on the New Orleans VooDoo name and history. On September 14, 2010 it was announced that the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings were relocating to New Orleans, and would take up the VooDoo name, logo, colors, and history.

“If science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than the gestures of ceremony.”
