The Carolina Ghostriders is a now-defunct indoor football team and charter member of the American Indoor Football League. The team has a rather strange history. In 2005, they were originally going to be the Carolina Sharks and play their home games at the Cricket Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. However, the Sharks folded and were replaced by a traveling team, the AIFL Ghostriders (often called either the Greensboro Ghostriders [because they were based in Greensboro, North Carolina] or their future official name, the Carolina Ghostriders). The team did very poorly, compiling an 0-10 record in the regular season. Because the league only had 6 teams, however, they still made the playoffs (every team did). They lost to the Johnstown Riverhawks in the opening round.
