The Bay City Goldminers were a record-breaking football team.
History
The Goldminers were chasing their fifth Super Bowl win, facing newcomers the Mudville Maroons. Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner both attended the game, and rooted for opposing side with Hal choosing the Miners and Guy the underdog. The game was hectic and turned violent when the demon Sapolu sent his forces to interfere with the game - having them possess one of the Maroons, the umpire and Guy's date. Sapolu had hoped the excitement of a record breaking win would be enough to free him into that dimension. Guy was knocked out by another demon, and Hal realized that to stop the demon, the Miners had to lose. While it was close, the Miners equalized with a last second touchdown. The excitement was enough to free the demon, who wrecked the stadium and was ultimately stopped by the two heroes. However, as the Miners had not been able to score their conversion and the stadium was destroyed, the game was declared a tie.

Trivia
- With the similarity in name, team colors (red and gold) and number of Super Bowl wins, the Goldminers seem to be based on the San Francisco 49ers
