The Columbus Destroyers are an Arena Football League team, founded in Buffalo, New York in 1999. The Buffalo Destroyers moved to Columbus, Ohio after the 2003 Arena Football League season. They play their home games in the downtown Nationwide Arena, which they share with the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets. As of the beginning of the 2005 season, the Destroyers hold the dubious statistic of having had a different leading passer, rusher, and receiver in every year of their existence.
The Destroyers compete in the Eastern Division of the AFL, and are coached by Chris Spielman .
