The Charlotte Barons were a dominant semi-professional football team that played two summer/fall seasons at American Legion Memorial Stadium in 1989 and 1990. Charlotte dominated the nationwide Minor League Football System in both seasons, running up a 23-2 overall record and winning the MLFS league championship in 1990. The Barons folded along with the rest of the league following the 1990 season.
The Bay State Titans were a semi-pro football outfit that played for one season at the Manning Bowl in Lynn, Massachusetts. The Titans claim to fame was the reclamation of 19-year old defensive lineman Eric Swann. Swann was a fast and enormous (6′ 5″, 320 lb.) pass rusher who never played a down of college football. After auditioning with the Titans in 1990, Swann emerged as a dominant NFL pass rusher earning All-Pro honors in 1995 and 1996.
