The Buffalo Storm were a professional soccer club that played in the United Soccer League during the summer of 1984. The team was composed largely of offseason players from the far more popular Buffalo Stallions indoor soccer team. The Storm were hampered by numerous problems including the lack of lights for night time play at All-High Stadium and folded after only one season of play.
The Syracuse Scorpions were a two-year entry in the lower-division American Soccer League. The team originally played their games on the outfield grass of MacArthur Stadium, the city’s minor league baseball stadium. But the ballpark burned down in May 1969 and was unusable for the rest of the summer, forcing both the Scorpions and the Syracuse Chiefs baseball team to find new arrangements. The Scorpions played at Griffin Field during the latter part of the 1969 season. The club disbanded following an abbreviate 1970 season.
