HISTORY

The Chicago Bruisers were a charter member of the Arena Football League , playing in the four-team "demonstration season" of 1987 . They played their home games in the former Rosemont Horizon , now the Allstate Arena . They were an ougrowth of the Chicago Politicians , a team put together by Jim Foster to play an exhibition game to prove the feasibility of the sport the previous year. The team logo depicted a Bulldog .

The Bruisers, like the Pittsburgh Gladiators but unlike the other two charter teams, the Denver Dynamite and the Washington Commandos , returned to play in the 1988 season. The team competed in the ArenaBowl that year, losing to the Detroit Drive . The Bruisers would be disbanded after competing in the 1989 season.
