The ridiculous soccer games lists #1 ... (Oxymoron project)

The ridiculous soccer games lists #1 ... (Oxymoron project)

This is the first post of the ridiculous lists that I have worked on for over five years as part of the Oxymoron Project ...


This list includes the now defunct teams like the original MISL Tacoma Stars, the CISL Seattle Seadogs, the USISL Everett Bigfoot, the PDL Spokane Shadow, and others ... the FC Seattle Storm and Seattle Sounders lists will be their own posts later ...

Some games show up on more than one list where there is overlap ...

There are a few details missing ... I left things out rather than be wrong ...

When the stadium has changed names I have left the name it was when the game was played ...

There are a few items where I have added information or notes to the lists ...

These lists are thanks to this wonderful internets thing, media guides, tciket stubs, programs, and my own bizarre and disturbing memory ...
