The Panthers, who shared the Pontiac Silverdome with the Lions in the 1980s, won the inaugural league title in 1983 over the Stars in Denver. The league folded before the 1986 season.

The rebooted XFL, which does not have a Michigan team, began play last weekend and has its championship game scheduled for May 13.
