[edit] History

On June 19, 2006, the AIFA announced that Danville would get a team to play at the Palmer Arena. Commissioner Andrew Haines owned the team (like most others) until a suitable owner could be found. Local radio station WDAN held a name-the-team contest, with 95% of the entries beginning with the letter "D".

On August 16 the team announced their name, the Danville Demolition, as well as their new owner, South Bend, Indiana businessman John Christner, as well as a head coach, B.J. Luke (replaced midseason by Willie Davis). The winning name was submitted by Michael Burmeister of Racine, Wisconsin.

The team struggled on and off the field, with only one win (against the Erie Freeze at home on March 29) as well as shady ownership and dwindling attendance. Finally, the team was evicted from Palmer Arena on June 20. This might not be the end of indoor football in Danville though, as the arena would welcome new ownership with open arms. [1]
