The nickname for the Arena Football League rivalry between the Tampa Bay Storm and the Orlando Predators.

The teams have been meeting at least twice and up to four times a season since 1991, and have been consistently at the top of the league standings.

In fact, the overall regular and postseason series is only 19-18 in favor of the Storm. The sides have met five times in the AFL playoffs, with Orlando holding a 3-2 edge, and twice in the ArenaBowl, with each team winning once.

This season, the Predators won the first game in Orlando by a score of 61-46 on Febuary 11th, but Tampa Bay took the second meeting 54-42 in the St. Pete Times Forum on April 9th.

The game has been notable for featuring the highest attendances in AFL history. On June 19th, 1993, the game drew a record crowd of 28,745 to the Thunderdome(now Tropicana Field) in St. Petersburg to see a Predators 46-45 win over the Storm. Both teams are known to organize bus trips down the I-4(hence the War on I-4) to the other city to see their team play.
