  Cleveland Thunderbolts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Established as the Columbus Thunderbolts and playing its home games at the Ohio Expo Center Coliseum, the team relocated to Cleveland after a disastrous, winless single season in the Arena Football League in 1991.
Perhaps the highlight of the team's one year in Columbus was the play of quarterback Major Harris, who rushed for 429 yards during that season, a remarkable achievement given the predominance of passing in the play of the Arena league.
The team did somewhat better than it had in Columbus and qualified for the playoffs in the 1993 season, but was disbanded after the 1994 campaign.

 Columbus Destroyers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Columbus Destroyers are an Arena Football League team, founded in Buffalo, New York in 1999 and, since 2004, play in Columbus, Ohio.

The Destroyers franchise, after playing 2 full seasons, have been better-received in Columbus then they were in Buffalo, as attendance remains one of the highest in the AFL, despite the little success they have had, and they are regularly covered in the media.
