Welcome
to the home of the Birmingham Bolts!
The Bolts may well represent the last popular professional football
team in the Birmingham area, and they will be missed.
After supporting previous pro football teams (WFL Americans/Vulcans,
USFL Stallions, WLAF Fire, CFL Barracudas, AAF Iron), Birmingham
fans again found themselves always the proverbial bridesmaid
but never a bride. The Bolts and the XFL lasted only
one season, but they left an indelible mark on the Birmingham
area.
Playing at legendary Legion Field, the Bolts got
off to a respectable 2-1 start, but then lost the final
7 games in a row to finish the season at 2-8. Head
Coach Gerry DiNardo gave credibility to the new team, but
he never got a chance to prove himself with the Bolts after
only one season. Star Quarterback Casey Weldon gave
a lot of early on-field excitement, until he went out with
a season-ending injury. Alabama star QB Jay Barker
then took the helm, but he never could spark the Bolts to
victory. Eventually, he too went out with a season-ending
injury, and Birmingham fans were left disappointed.
This site is still not finished yet, so please check back
frequently. Video clips are still being sought to complete the Multimedia section, showing
highlights from Bolts games. The photo slideshow section
is up & running, so feel free to browse through the
Bolts photos.
