Tampa Bay Storm seasons

The Tampa Bay Storm is a professional American football franchise of the Arena Football League (AFL) based in Tampa, Florida. The franchise was originally known as the Pittsburgh Gladiators, and was one of the original four AFL teams formed in 1987.cite web | title = Pittsburgh Gladiators History | work = Tampa Bay Storm | url = http://www.tampabaystorm.com/storm/sub.cfm?pageid=1347 | accessdate = September 9 | accessyear = 2008 ] The Storm is the oldest team in AFL, since the other original teams, Chicago Bruisers, Denver Dynamite, and Washington Commandos, have all folded. They are the last of the original four franchises to have operated in continuous existence from the formation of the league until the present. The Gladiators participated in ArenaBowl I and ArenaBowl III, losing both games. The franchise moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Tampa, Florida in 1991, and changed its name to the Tampa Bay Storm.

In Tampa, the Storm won ArenaBowl V, ArenaBowl VII, ArenaBowl IX, ArenaBowl X, and ArenaBowl XVII.cite web | title = Tampa Bay Storm History | work = Tampa Bay Storm | url = http://www.tampabaystorm.com/storm/sub.cfm?pageid=1246# | accessdate = September 8 | accessyear = 2008 ] They also played in and lost ArenaBowl XII. In their 22-year history (through the 2008 season), they have an overall regular season record of 181 wins, and 99 losses.cite web | title = Pittsburgh Gladiators — Team History | work = Arena Fan | url = http://www.arenafan.com/teams/?page=history&team=5&year=0&team=5 | accessdate = September 8 | accessyear = 2008 ] cite web | title = Tampa Bay Storm — Team History | work = Arena Fan | url = http://www.arenafan.com/teams/Tampa_Bay_Storm-12/history/ | accessdate = September 8 | accessyear = 2008 ] They have made 20 postseason appearances, and have an overall postseason record of 21 wins and 13 losses.
