March 6, 201115 yr The team formerly known as Miami FC. I guess Traffic Sports had to concede to reality and bring back a name associated with the old NASL. Relevant article: http://www.strikers.com/article/strikers-2011 Anyway, I'll use this thread to post scores and whatever else happening with this team. They'll start play in the new NASL (D2) at home against FC Edmonton on April 9.

April 10, 201115 yr Author Well, tonight's match has just been played. FC Edmonton has come back from a 1-0 deficit to beat the Strikers by the score of 2-1. The good news is that 6,402 was the announced attendance for this match. The marketing efforts by Traffic to reconnect to the area with reviving the Strikers name has yielded some fruit, so far. Btw, 3,693 was the announced attendance in St. Pete for the FC Tamba Bay vs. Montreal Impact game.

May 4, 201115 yr Author I think Don Garber wants to see proof that the area can support the Strikers before they can join MLS. At least, that is what the word is.
