History
The Rage were founded as an expansion team on October 10, 1991, by motion picture financier Allen J. Schwalb, who backed some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1980s including Rambo, Rain Man, Moonstruck and Thelma & Louise. 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 from 1992 to 1994 and again in 1996. They played the 1995 season at the much smaller Independence Arena.
The team made the playoffs in 1993 and 1994, losing both times to the Arizona Rattlers in the first round. They are best for signing former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Joe DeLamielleure, who played only a handful of games in 1992 before retiring from football for good. He is currently the only member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame to have played in the AFL, a distinction that will end in 2017 when Kurt Warner, a three-year veteran of the AFL, is inducted.
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.
The AFL would return to the Coliseum four years later with the expansion Carolina Cobras.
