In October 2007, it was announced that the American Indoor Football Association (AIFA) was expanding into Prescott Valley, Arizona.[1] After a two-week name the team contest, it was announced that the team's nickname would be the Adrenaline.[2] In December 2007, the Adrenaline announced that Andrew Moore was named the team's head coach.[3]

The Adrenaline opened their first ever season with a 66–21 victory over the New Mexico Wildcats.[4] The following week the Adrenaline received their first loss in franchise history with a 69–30 loss to the Wyoming Cavalry.[5] The Adrenaline were able to clinch a playoff berth in their first season, after a 52–27 victory of the Utah Saints.[6] The Adrenaline finished the regular season 11–3, tying for first place in the West Division of the Western Conference. They faced the Cavalry in the Divisional Playoff game, where they were defeated 51–26.[7]

After a successful first season, the team announced that it was suspending operations for the 2009 season due to lack of sponsorship funding.[8]
