The team office was based in Madison, Wisconsin, and played their games at the Dane County Coliseum, now Veterans Memorial Coliseum, at the Alliant Energy Center.

The Mad Dogs were coached by Richard "Dick" Adams for the '98 PIFL season.

Winning only once: The Madison Mad Dogs tied with their sister team, Green Bay Bombers – both teams owned by Ecklund, for the second best record in the PIFL with a 10-4 record.

Keary Ecklund took his Bombers and Mad Dogs teams and defected from the PIFL to form the IFL.

Then, Madison faced Erie at home in the first round of the IFL playoffs.
