Minnesota Strikers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minnesota Strikers was an American professional soccer team located in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.
The Strikers' history begins in 1984, when the Fort Lauderdale Strikers were relocated to Minnesota. The team played that year in the North American Soccer League at the Metrodome, but the league collapsed at the end of the season. The team survived, however, moving indoors and joining the Major Indoor Soccer League. The team played four seasons in the MISL, folding after the 1987-88 season. The team played at Met Center during the MISL years.
