I'm just a fan of the Wheels from childhood and find the story fascinating. Oddly enough, my dad had tickets to a game that was ultimately cancelled and this poster hung in my room. Somehow the idea of a new football team, and one that collapsed just as suddenly, stirred my imagination. It was a tragic team, as the Wheels had only one victory - 15-14 over Florida in Orlando - before folding. And coverage in Detroit was not kind. But somehow, to a kid, it all seemed rather Quixotic. Even though windmills usually win.
Please get in touch if you've any information, photos, or thoughts to share. I'd love to hear from you. --- Mac Beeker, Lake Leelanau, Michigan
