Chicago Horizons
April 15, 2018
All-but-forgotten indoor soccer club that played a single season in suburban Chicago during the winter of 1980-81. The Chicago Horizons were an expansion team in the Major Indoor Soccer League that season. In truly boring fashion, the team named itself after its home arena, the 16,000-seat Rosemont Horizon that opened earlier that year. It didn’t help matters that Chicago’s established outdoor team, the Sting, also began playing an indoor soccer schedule that same winter in a rival league at Chicago Stadium downtown.
