The Druid City Dragons were a World Basketball Association franchise in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that played during the 2006 season.
The team was officially announced as Tuscaloosa's first professional basketball game at a press conference on Thursday, April 20, 2006.[1] The team took its name to pay homage to the former Druid City High School, which has since been closed. The 21-game season included 10 home games at Central High School West Gymnasium. Tickets were moderately priced at $5 for adults and $3 for students in an effort to draw between 800 and 1,200 fans deemed necessary for the team to be financially sustainable.[1]
The team would fold following the 2006 season after finishing in 5th place in the Western Division with an overall record of 9–11.[2]
