Minnesota Strikers
January 20, 2013
The Minnesota Strikers were a top-flight pro soccer club that played both outdoor and indoor soccer in the Twin Cities between 1984 and 1988. Originally a North American Soccer League club from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the team moved to Minneapolis in 1984 to play an “outdoor” season indoors at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. With the NASL about to fold, the Strikers joined the indoor Major Indoor Soccer League in the fall of 1984 and played four winter seasons at the Met Center before going out of business in June of 1988.
