Arena Bowl '87 (or Arena Bowl I) was the Arena Football League's very first Arena Bowl. In this match-up, it pitted the #2 Denver Dynamite against the #1 Pittsburgh Gladiators. Both teams finished their seasons at 4-2, yet the Gladiators led in points for (268-261) and points against (199-252).

This is the only ArenaBowl game to be played outdoors as the Civic Arena opened its roof for the contest.

Game summary

The Dynamite got off to an early start with a fumble recovery for a touchdown by OL/DL Phil Forte, along with a 2-yard TD run by FB/LB Richard Prather (with a failed two-point conversion) in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Denver's domination continued with QB Whit Taylor completing a 26-yard TD pass to WR/DB Gary Mullen (with another failed two-point conversion) for the only score of the period.

In the third quarter, the Dynamite continued their destruction with Taylor completing a 32-yard TD pass to WR/LB Richard Rodgers, along with WR/DB Steve Trimble returning an interception 47 yards for a touchdown.

In the fourth quarter, the Gladiators finally managed to score as QB Mike Hohensee completed an 11-yard TD pass to WR/LB Russell Hairston (with a successful 2-point conversion). Denver would wrap up the game with Taylor and Mullen hooking up with each other on a 5-yard TD pass and even a 19-yard TD pass (failed PAT). Pittsburgh's final strike came from QB Brendan Folmar to WR/DB Rodney Richmond.
