History
After an ownership change, and a name change to the Detroit Demolition, the team coached by Tony Blankenship won three more national titles, going undefeated in each of those three seasons and accumulating 52 consecutive wins. The Demolition sought membership into the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL) in 2006 and was subsequently accepted in the league. In 2005, the team played a special Mother's Day game at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions. The Demolition play their home games at Livonia Franklin High School. Detroit was upset in the 2006 IWFL Championship Game by the Atlanta Xplosion by a score of 21–14. It was only the Demolition's second loss in the franchise's five-year history.
The Detroit Demolition returned to the IWFL for the 2007 season and won the IWFL World Championship Game and took the title back from Atlanta Xplosion.
