Summary History Calendar Teams

 

The Stars franchise, which either Philadelphia or Baltimore, remains the benchmark for sporting and financial success. It is true that MYLES did TANENBAUM surrounded that talent to build a team worthy of competing in the NFL. Stars crushed all the other teams win 3/4 games played, with 7 wins from 8 games in the playoffs. Only the Michigan Panthers beat them in the championship final of the 1983 season (24-22).

The Stars are the only team to have played three finals of the USFL and 1983 will be the only one to miss the charts. In 1984, against the Arizona Wranglers (23-03 victory), in 1985 against the Oakland Invaders (win 28-24), was a total success and football sometimes turned the demonstration.

Stars in a line of effect in this team ... Kelvin BRYANT and 4055 yards running in just three seasons FUSINA Chuck, Brad OATES, Willie COLLIER, David TROUT ... but the defense was not bad either with its ranks, Sam MILLS, who participated in several Pro Bowl teams in the NFL, Mike LUSH or John WALKER.

In addition to a successful sports franchise was accompanied by a financial success with an increase of more than 10,000 spectators from the inaugural season and the second in Philadelphia. Following the announcement by the league changing dates of the championship, TANENBAUM was forced to leave Philadelphia for a new location, which will be Baltimore.

The arrival was not made without difficulty and found refuge at the University of Maryland. It would have been easy to think that this change would also completely destroy the team, but even if the audience was down in Philadelphia, a sporting point of view, the success had followed the Stars. After a 1985 season in all points identical to the previous, the apotheosis of the final against Oakland unfortunately would be the last song for the franchise. This "glory" is not allowed to change the free league back in the NFL and both the Baltimore Stars would lose this success ... It will take 20 years for a NFL team returns to Baltimore in the guise of the Browns (for one year), then be transformed into Ravens, making for the story Cleveland Browns.
