Prior to the 2015 season, the Stars were purchased by Tracy and Crystal Duran and the team announced it was going to play in Champions Indoor Football for 2015.

Most of the West Division collapsed leaving the Stars regionally isolated and forced to schedule games against many local semi-professional teams.

In October 2011, team owner and general manager Dart Clark made an announcement that indoor football would be returning to New Mexico.

[1][2] The team tried to make a large splash early on to help boost interest in the team when they offered NFL veteran wide receiver, Terrell Owens,[3] former University of New Mexico star, DonTrell Moore[1] and former University of Wisconsin–Madison All-American, Erasmus James.

[6] The team was run by Clark until March 2012, when the Stars made a change, naming Jerry Dunn majority owner and interim general manager.

[14] The Stars finished the regular season 7-5, good enough to earn the 3rd seed in the league and advance to a semi-final match up against the Rio Grande Valley Sol, with a berth in the 2014 LSFL Championship Game on the line.

The Stars then lost to the third West Division team, the Corpus Christi Fury, 59–53 with the game decided on the final play.

In April 2016, former New Orleans Saints quarterback John Fourcade became the interim head coach and will lead the team through the 2016 season.

However, after the initial announcement of the formerly six-team West Division schedule, three teams either folded or switched leagues prior to the start of the season.
