COLUMBUS, OH – In preparation for the 2005 Arena Football League season, the Columbus Destroyers have scheduled an open-player tryout to be held at the Columbus FieldHouse on Saturday, October 16 at 8 a.m., Head Coach Chris Spielman announced today.

"The open workout is a great opportunity for us to evaluate some tremendous athletes and find out more about some quality players that we might want to take a closer look at," said Spielman.
