HISTORY


Inaugural Season

The Denver Dynamite were a charter member of the Arena Football League , playing in the inaugural four-team "demonstration" season of 1987 and winning the first ArenaBowl that year. Showcasing a high-powered offense led by former Vanderbilt University star quarterback Whit Taylor , the team nonetheless did not return for the league's second season in 1988 .


Return

It was restarted in 1989 , however, and operated for three subsequent seasons, ceasing operation after the 1991 campaign.

The owners retained the rights to operate an Arena Football franchise, however, which they sold in 1996 to a Nashville -based group which started the Nashville Kats (now the Georgia Force ) the next year.

The Dynamite's memorable Logo was, unsurprisingly, an exploding bundle of dynamite sticks. The team's home games were played in the McNichols Arena , which was then also the home of the NBA 's Denver Nuggets .
