TACOMA, WA — (press release) The Tacoma Stars have been purchased with the intent of re-establishing their indoor soccer legacy in the near future.

The name, colors, and crest of the Stars have been purchased out of a bankruptcy estate by the Tacoma Soccer Center. Plans are in the early stages to determine what league or leagues the Tacoma Stars might next participate in. The possibility also exists that the Tacoma Soccer Center might license the rights to the brand to a (as yet undetermined) prospective ownership group.

The name “Tacoma Stars” has represented the top-level of indoor soccer in the greater Puget Sound for generations of soccer fans. The Tacoma Soccer Center is excited to play a part in keeping the name and traditions alive for this and future generations.

The Tacoma Soccer Center was the original training facility to the professional MISL Stars that played in the Tacoma Dome from 1983-1992. The more recent version of the semi-pro Tacoma Stars played from 2003- 2011 at the Tacoma Soccer Center. The Stars went on hiatus for the 2013-2014 season.

The Tacoma Soccer Center displays some of the rich history of the Tacoma Stars in the famous Far Post Sports Bar which overlooks the main indoor field. There are large photos of MISL Stars Preki, Ralph Black and Steve Zungul still hanging in The Far Post and starting conversations from onlookers.
