The Wildcats played their home games at the Denver Coliseum, with the team office also located in Denver, CO. The team's colors were: Old Gold, Purple, and White. Colorado's head coach listed in the 1998 PIFL league media guide was Larry Jobe, but the actual head coach was . The Wildcats played three preseason PIFL games in '98. They went 1–2 in those games, with the lone victory at home:
* March 19 - Colorado Wildcats 20 at Madison Mad Dogs 27
* March 25 - Colorado Wildcats 39 at Green Bay Bombers 53
* April 6 - Texas Bullets 9 at Colorado Wildcats 49 The Wildcats compiled a 9–5 record in their only year of play. They struggled financially, even folding for two weeks before a new owner, , bailed the team out and allowed them to finish the season. The team made the playoffs, but even with the new owner in place, the Wildcats were still financially strapped and were about to forfeit their playoff appearance, rather than pay travel costs to Baton Rouge, LA. The Shivers, the Louisiana Bayou Beast owners, offered to pay travel expenses for the Wildcats to compete against the Beast. This would also be the Beasts' chance to avenge the only loss of the Bayou Beast season (13–1) by defeating the Wildcats in the playoffs. The Bayou Beast did just that by winning 67–61, slamming Colorado wide receiver Matt Cinquanta to the turf as he made a miraculous catch just one yard shy of the endzone on the game's last play. As a result, the Louisiana Bayou Beast advanced to the PIFL Championship game. When Green Bay Bombers and Madison Mad Dogs owner announced his intentions to start a new league in 1999, Indoor Football League (IFL), Shafer stood by him and proclaimed the Wildcats would be a part of the IFL. Although the Colorado Wildcats ceased operations, much of the roster and staff transitioned to become the Rocky Mountain Thunder, competing in the newly-formed Indoor Professional Football League (IPFL) for the 1999 season.

Gli Shivers, padroni dei , si offirono di pagare le spese di viaggio ai propri avversari. In questa partita i Bayou Beast poterono vendicare l'unica sconfitta subita in stagione regolare, vincendo 67-61 al Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Quando il proprietario dei e dei annunciò l'intenzione di avviare una nuova lega nel 1999, la Indoor Football League (IFL), Shafer affermò che la sua squadra avrebbe aderito, ma questo non avvenne mai e la formazione lasciò l'indoor football.
