Football Is Back in the Burque: Pitre and Fietz Hire Kyle Moore-Brown to Lead the New Mexico Chupacabras

Professional indoor football has officially returned to Albuquerque — and the New Mexico Chupacabras are building it the right way from the top down.

Led by ownership group Bob Pitre and Mike Fietz, the Chupacabras are ushering in a new era of football in the Land of Enchantment. Their vision is simple: bring pride back to the city, build a championship-caliber organization, and create an electric game-day atmosphere that represents New Mexico the right way.

Their first major statement move? Hiring championship coach Kyle Moore-Brown to lead the team.

Building a Winner from Day One

Moore-Brown brings a proven track record in the indoor game, known for assembling tough, disciplined, high-scoring teams that compete for championships. His leadership style emphasizes accountability, preparation, and relentless effort — the exact identity ownership wants the Chupacabras to embody.

This hire signals something important: this franchise isn’t here just to participate. It’s here to compete.

With strong ownership backing, a respected head coach, and a roster built to win, the Chupacabras are laying a foundation designed for long-term success.

More Than Football

For Pitre and Fietz, this isn’t just about what happens between the boards. It’s about reconnecting Albuquerque with high-level professional football and creating something the entire state can rally around.

From community involvement to fan engagement to delivering a first-class game presentation at Tingley Coliseum, the organization is committed to raising the bar.

The return of indoor football isn’t just a season launch — it’s a statement.

Our state.
Our team.
Their nightmare.

It’s Feeding Time.
