The team was formed as the Minnesota Swarm and played at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota from 2004 until 2015.[2] On May 22, 2015, team owner John Arlotta announced that the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Swarm, did not renew the contract for the team.[3] Instead of negotiating for a new lease, the Swarm began looking for potential relocation sites and eventually chose the Atlanta metro area.[1]

In 2017 the Swarm won the NLL championship title against the defending Saskatchewan Rush 2-0 in a best of three series.[4][5]
