The 1990 Denver Dynamite season was the third season for the Arena Football League franchise. With the same coaching staff in place from 1989, the Dynamite got off to a hot 4–1 start during the 1990 season. The attendance had been steadily rising during the season, with the final home game's attendance listed at 10,587. This was later found to be squed as around 3,000 people were admitted for free.[1] The Dynamite would finish the season with a record of 4–4, good enough to clinch the 3rd seed. The team lost 25–26 to the semi-finals to the Dallas Texans.[2]
