Traditionally, indoor soccer has been a winter sport, but the CISL decided to play a summer season.
Portland was announced as a founding member city for CISL on February 3, 1993.
[1] Owned by Brian Parrott, the team was named the "Pride" and played its home games in Portland, Oregon's Memorial Coliseum.
[2] In 1995, Parrott sold the team to a group led by Norm Daniels.
At the end of the season, the Pride withdrew from the league due to a $2 million loss and a lack of confidence in the CISL, which later folded.
