CEDAR RAPIDS, IA --- The Major Arena Soccer League is proud to announce the addition of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as the newest team for the 2015-16 season.

MASL Vice President of Business Development and Chairman of Expansion Kevin Milliken introduced the team today at a news conference at US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Members of its ownership group, which also operates the Cedar Rapids Titans of the Indoor Football League, represented the team at the event.

"It is great for our league to bring in such a committed group of owners, who have also found success at building a professional sports franchise," Milliken said. "This group has seen success on the football field, and we believe they will be successful with arena soccer as well. And, it will be great to have another rival for our teams in the Midwest."

Because Erie, Pa. was judged to be too big a market for the MASL.
Old enough to remember when bashing the ABA was fun.

Definitely a strong replacement for Baltimore.
