Tampa Bay Rowdies (1975–93)
The Tampa Bay Rowdies were an American professional soccer team based in Tampa, Florida, that competed in the original North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1975 to 1984. They enjoyed broad popular support in the Tampa Bay area until the NASL folded in 1984, after which the team played in various minor indoor and outdoor leagues before finally folding on January 31, 1994. The Rowdies played nearly all〔http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-06-23/sports/9103050225_1_strikers-tampa-bay-rowdies-tampa-goalie〕 of their outdoor home games at Tampa Stadium and nearly all〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VsNaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rFkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6845,2717682&dq=tulsa+roughnecks&hl=en〕 of their indoor games at the Bayfront Center Arena in nearby St. Petersburg, Florida. Although San Diego played indoors until 1996, the Rowdies were the last surviving NASL franchise that played outdoor soccer on a regular basis.

On June 19, 1974〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19740620&id=yV5QAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KFgDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7292,1314601&hl=en〕 George Strawbridge and Beau Rogers, IV purchased an expansion franchise in North American Soccer League for the sum of $25,000 and by July 24 they named Eddie Firmani their coach.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6DYwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JfsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6808,5373884&dq=rowdies+history&hl=en〕 The Rowdies played ten seasons at Tampa Stadium and won their only Soccer Bowl championship in their 1975 inaugural season, defeating the Portland Timbers 2–0 on August 24. The Rowdies also lost in the finals in 1978 and 1979. The team showcased international stars such as midfield captain Rodney Marsh (England), 1979 league scoring leader Oscar Fabbiani (Chile), swift and lethal forward Steve Wegerle (South Africa), rock-solid defenseman Arsene Auguste (Haiti), 1976 NASL goal scoring champion Derek Smethurst (South Africa), who was also the franchise's all-time leading goal scorer with 57 tallies in 65 games, as well as Clyde Best (Bermuda). Coached along the way by Firmani, John Boyle, Gordon Jago, Al Miller, and Marsh after his retirement, their catch phrase and marketing slogan was "The Rowdies arrrre...a kick in the grass!"
While no NASL team ever captured a treble, in 1975–76 Tampa Bay came the closest by winning the three different NASL titles available at the time (Soccer Bowl '75, 1976 Indoor Title, 1976 Regular Season title) in succession within twelve months. On and off the pitch, the Rowdies would prove to be one of the league's most recognizable brands. At one three-year point in their history, the team regularly drew crowds of well over 25,000 a night. In 1979 three different matches were attended by over 40,000 people, and the following year two more surpassed the 50,000 mark. The Rowdies had long-standing rivalries with both the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and the New York Cosmos.
(詳細はDallas Tornado merged with Tampa Bay. At the time, Dallas principals Lamar Hunt and Bill McNutt retained a minority stake in the Rowdies.〔https://books.google.com/books?id=9jI5GTaAjZMC&pg=PA262&lpg=PA262&dq=rowdies+tornado+merge&source=bl&ots=hdS-ty1Z3L&sig=O0PNGYzWxJuSH2p3bXj2jHLUjvQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gFTDUfOLC4Og9QSBl4CICg&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=rowdies%20tornado%20merge&f=false〕〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19810917&id=0mhQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=o1kDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6849,584118〕 Two years later after the 1983 season, Strawbidge, Hunt and McNutt sold the team outright to local investors Stella Thayer, Bob Blanchard and Dick Corbett.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19830914&id=YqpNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=o_sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6683,4875862〕
