Philadelphia Fever (MISL)

The Philadelphia Fever was an indoor soccer team that was based out of Philadelphia and played in the original Major Indoor Soccer League from 1978 to 1982.

[1] The team's home arena was the Spectrum.

After being granted a one-year hiatus following the 1981-82 season, the team ultimately folded.

While it is often reported that the Los Angeles Lazers were the relocated Fever, the one-year hiatus was actually granted at the same time as the Lazers were awarded an expansion franchise, during the MISL's August 1982 league meetings.

[2] During the four seasons that the Fever played in Philadelphia, the average attendance was 5,777 per game.
