The original Baltimore Blast indoor soccer team (1980-1992) was the Charm City’s most important fall/winter pro sports franchise following the departure of the NFL’s Baltimore Colts in early 1984. Unlike most other Major Indoor Soccer League clubs, the Blast enjoyed Major League treatment from the local media. At their peak during the 1983-84 season, the Blast won their first (and only) MISL title and sold out the 10,000-seat Baltimore Civic Center for 17 of 31 matches. The Blast name was revived by a separate indoor soccer franchise in 1998. The latter-day version of the Blast continues to play today albeit with a distinctly minor league profile.
