Charlotte Rage

The Charlotte Rage was a team in the Arena Football League, a league which plays a scaled-down version of American football suitable for play in venues primarily designed for ice hockey or basketball.

History

They competed in the 1992-1996 seasons. They played their home games at the Charlotte Coliseum, then also home of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association.

The team made the playoffs in 1993 and 1994, losing both times to the Arizona Rattlers in the first round.

Their logo consisted of an enraged bull which was both snorting fire and surrounded by it. The team was discontinued after the completion of the 1996 season.
