As the Barnstormers, the franchise made the playoffs in all but one season, and appeared in two consecutive ArenaBowls, however lost both.
Before the 2001 season, the Barnstormers relocated to New York and changed their name to the Dragons.
As they did in Iowa, the Dragons won four division championships, but have not been in any ArenaBowls.
In the 2004 season, the Dragons won their division, but did not qualify for the playoffs due to a rule change made prior to that season concerning which teams would be given a playoff berth.
The Dragons played their home games at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
