Oklahoma City Stampede
The Oklahoma City Stampede were a 2nd division pro soccer franchise that operated under a handful of names in Oklahoma during the mid-1980’s. The club originated in 1982 as an expansion called the Oklahoma City Slickers in the American Soccer League. After the ASL folded in early 1984, Slickers owner David Fraser was one of several team owners that banded together to form the new United Soccer League. As part of the shift to the USL, Fraser changed the name of the team to the Stampede. Fraser moved the team to Tulsa in 1985 and the club disbanded along with the rest of the USL later that spring.
