The was an
Arena Football team that played only one season in the
Arenafootball2 league before folding. The franchise was granted when the former
Arena Football League Team Of The Same Name moved to
New York as the
New York Dragons for the 2001 season. In 2001, the team's only season, the Barnstormers finished 9-7 overall, missing the playoffs.
There is some talk about possibly reviving the Barnstormers name for a future af2 franchise that could play in
Des Moines as early
2008 at the
Wells Fargo Arena .
