Summary History Calendar Teams

 

The Breakers franchise is the perfect example of a success story that can never happen. Launched in 1983 in Boston, the team hoped to play its matches in the stadium of Patriots (NFL), the Foxboro, but this desire did not materialize, driving them back to the campus of Boston University and a small capacity of 21,000 seats.

Not finding solutions in the Boston area, the franchise will be relocated to New Orleans and shared the stadium of Saints (NFL). But while Joseph CANIZARO hoped to finally find a little quiet, the announcement of the league in 1986 to play in the fall rather than the spring, making it impossible coexistence between the two football teams. So, for the third time in three years, the Breakers moved towards Portland and Civic stadium. Transfer all the more ridiculous in the end, that will not ever USFL season 1986 ...

Sportingly also repeated changes made ​​that good 1983 season never happen eventually with the slow death of the team. Third-best attack in 1983 for QB John WALTON (3772 yards passing and 20 touchdowns), they became the lowest offensive line two years later. Many said that the departure of WALTON was too important for the team but I think simply that the instability of the franchise did not encourage a player to commit to the Breakers.
