It's my blog
so I can write about whatever I want.
So today you get Arena Football. It has a nifty history in the Detroit Area.
Mike Illich owned the Detroit Drive, who played at JLA.
Illich sold them after he bought the Tigers.
They won Arena Bowls 2,3,4, and 6.
They moved to Massachusetts when Illich sold them.

Interestingly enough, The Grand Rapids Rampage is technically the same franchise.
The Detroit Fury were owned by Bill Davidson and Bill Ford. They played at the Palace for 4 seasons 2001-2004 'til they were terminated.

Awareness needs to be reaised on this issue, hence this post.
By the way Arena Bowl XX (yes it really is that old) was recently won by the Chicago Rush.
