In 1993, a new league, the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) began its first season. Traditionally, indoor soccer has been a winter sport, but the CISL decided to play a summer season. This would keep it from competing with the more established National Professional Soccer League.
Portland was announced as a founding member city for CISL on February 3, 1993.[1] Owned by Brian Parrott, the team was named the "Pride" and played its home games in Portland, Oregon's Memorial Coliseum.[2] In 1995, Parrott sold the team to a group led by Norm Daniels.
In 1997, the team and the league played its last season. At the end of the season, the Pride withdrew from the league due to a $2 million loss and a lack of confidence in the CISL, which later folded.[3] The Pride ownership moved the team to the Premier Soccer Alliance where the team played under the name Portland Pythons.[4]
